Our universe plays by certain rules, which originate from different branches of physics. But sometimes the rules seem ...

Physicists have long treated space and time as the stage on which quantum particles perform, not as actors in the drama ...

For more than a century, physics has treated space and time as the smooth stage on which the universe unfolds, a flexible fabric that bends but never breaks. A new wave of theories is now challenging ...

Fragments of energy may be the fundamental building blocks of the universe. The theory combines the ideas of particles and waves into a concentration of energy that flows throughout space and time.
