Gravity may not be a fundamental force of nature, but a byproduct of the universe streamlining information like a cosmic computer. Reading time 3 minutes We have long taken it for granted that gravity ...

For decades, physicists have faced one of science’s greatest puzzles: merging quantum mechanics, which describes tiny particles, with general relativity, which explains the universe’s vast structures.

Gravity, the force that attracts objects toward each other, is currently framed by Albert Einstein's theory of general ...

Gravity is usually presented as the most familiar of nature’s forces, the quiet background pull that keeps feet on sidewalks and planets in orbit. A growing group of physicists is now treating that ...

A trapped cloud of ultracold atoms, colder than almost anything found in nature, has become the setting for a deceptively ...

File this one under "fun to think about, probably not changing your day job": a new study just dropped that suggests gravity itself might be the smoking gun that our entire universe is one big ...

Entropy. The word itself should cause insomnia. It means that matter and energy will degrade—ultimately leading to chaos in the universe—if things are left alone. So why is a new theory suggesting ...

(via Sabine Hossenfelder) Over the past few decades, the idea that gravity is not a fundamental interaction but is instead caused by the increase of entropy has become increasingly popular in the ...
