A new paper to be published in Physical Review Letters has made a significant step toward unifying general relativity and quantum mechanics by explaining how spacetime emerges from quantum entanglement. The international collaboration of physicists and mathematicians who authored the paper hope it will prove to be a first step toward the long sought Theory […]
Building on related research that showed how two entangled black holes could be linked by a wormhole, an MIT physicist has shown that two entangled quarks could also give rise to a wormhole that connects the pair of elementary particles. The new work bolsters the relatively new idea that the laws of gravity holding together […]
Looking backward in time to an instant after the big bang, physicists at the University of Wisconsin-Madison have devised a way to unlock the hidden shapes of alternate dimensions of the universe. Their study, inPhysical Review Letters, demonstrates that the shapes of extra dimensions can be “seen” by deciphering their influence on cosmic energy released […]
A lot of the controversy surrounding string theory is due to the absence of any meaningful way to test for the existence of the tiny one-dimensional filaments. But now, researchers at the University of California, San Diego, Carnegie Mellon University, and the University of Texas at Austin believe they can test at least part of […]
