Does string theory—the controversial “theory of everything” from physics—tell us anything about consciousness and the human ...

Natural physical networks are continuous, three-dimensional objects, like the small mathematical model displayed here.

In 1980, Stephen Hawking gave his first lecture as Lucasian Professor at the University of Cambridge. The lecture was called “Is the end in sight for theoretical physics?” Hawking, who later became my ...

In an unprecedented step, researchers crafted a detailed model compatible with the universe’s accelerated expansion.

If the universe was a soundtrack, we have been humming it our whole life. Every atom in our body, every star in the sky, every beam of light is part of a piece of music that never stops playing.

String theory—the idea that particles are not point-like, but instead one-dimensional strings—is a popular theoretical framework that attempts to combine general relativity and quantum field theory ...

Physicists have proposed a new model of space-time based on string theory to explain dark energy. Their hypothesis suggests that, at extremely small scales, space and time behave differently from how ...

Jon Cartwright points out “that string theory was so flexible it could describe a truly vast array of fantastical universes. Something like 10 500 in fact – a number so huge it belied any physical ...
