Asking what existed before the Big Bang is often dismissed as meaningless, since traditional physics breaks down when pushed ...

Their findings demonstrate, with atomic-level precision, the dual yet evasive nature of light. They also happen to confirm that Albert Einstein was wrong about this particular quantum scenario.

Albert Einstein famously disliked quantum theory’s understanding that physical objects, including light, exist as both a particle and a wave, and that this duality could not be simultaneously ...

Einstein was wrong—MIT’s quantum experiment proves you can't catch light behaving as both wave and particle at once.

When a German physicist returned from a health retreat 100 years ago, his ideas sparked a debate about reality, and gave rise to quantum mechanics — the "spooky" science of the very small.

Their findings demonstrate, with atomic-level precision, the dual yet evasive nature of light. They also happen to confirm that Albert Einstein was wrong about this particular quantum scenario.

Black hole and Big Bang singularities break our best theory of gravity. A trilogy of theorems hints that physicists must go to the ends of space and time to find a fix.

The fact that the quantum nature of light has origins in Maxwell's electromagnetic fields is revolutionary. A number of physicists have come out in support of Dr. Sinha.

This is what is known as “quantum nonlocality,” where objects are influenced across distances (seeming beyond the speed of light) whereas classical physics follows local theory, the idea that ...

1905 is referred to as the “miracle year” by physicists. In that one year, Albert Einstein published four papers that laid the foundations of modern physics. One of the major breakthroughs ...

The singularities are expected to vanish in a more fundamental theory of gravity that Einstein’s space-time picture merely approximates — a theory of quantum gravity. But as physicists take steps ...
