In holographic theories, physicists may have traced the pliability of space-time to its quantum roots: a measure of ...
Space and time looked settled, at least in broad outline. Einstein’s special relativity gave physics a durable framework for ...
Recent discoveries in the realm of physics have pointed to the possibility of time anomalies that challenge our current understanding of space-time. These findings open new avenues for exploring the ...
Exploring the BTZ black hole in (2+1)-dimensional gravity took me down a fascinating rabbit hole, connecting ideas I never expected—like black holes and topological phases in quantum matter! When I ...
One of the most awkward parts of writing a book is that, eventually, authors have to ask people for “blurbs” – the endorsements that you see on the cover of a book, encouraging you to buy it. I am now ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. In the fall of 2022, a Princeton University graduate student named Carolina Figueiredo stumbled onto a massive coincidence. She ...
Big G, gravity, is the oldest fundamental constant in physics and the least clearly defined. One scientist has spent a decade ...
