Physicists have proposed a new model of space-time that may provide the 'first observational evidence supporting string ...

Researchers say they discovered observational evidence of string theory, which could turn everything we know about the ...

Last month, the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) collective reported that dark energy is evolving—specifically ...

Such behavior points to space-time having quantum properties, and as per string theory, this quantum behavior causes the universe to expand faster and faster over time—a phenomenon known as ...

Warner and his co-authors, Iosif Bena and Dimitrios Toulikas, both at the Institute of Theoretical Physics in France, and Anthony Houppe of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich, described ...

String theory proclaims otherwise ... material constituents with strings resolves the incompatibility between quantum mechanics and general relativity (which, as currently formulated, cannot ...

One of the most striking consequences of this quantum space-time, as predicted by string theory, is that it naturally leads to cosmic acceleration. Moreover, the researchers found that the rate at ...

For the first time, gravity and quantum mechanics were playing by the same rules. At least in theory. I began learning the mathematical underpinnings of string theory during an intense period in ...

While some attempts to give string theory predictive power are underway, many physicists are looking elsewhere. Whether in the form of loop quantum gravity, causal dynamical trangulation or ...
