Studying the equations of General Relativity and beyond, both analytically and with state-of-the-art simulations. Novel numerical and mathematical approaches can shed light on the structure and ...

Space and time looked settled, at least in broad outline. Einstein’s special relativity gave physics a durable framework for ...

Faster-than-light particles have spent decades in physics as both temptation and warning. They offered a way to test the ...

A framework that relies on college-level mathematics could describe what happens to particles in so-called spacetime rips, gravity fluctuations such as those that occur during the birth of a black ...

I’ve been getting lots of emails and tweets about a young man named Jacob Barnett, a 12-year-old who is apparently a math genius. He’s been getting a lot of press lately because he’s tackling some ...

Tsukuba, Japan—Although a typical mathematical task has a single correct answer, in some cases, the assumptions of a proposition determine its truth. Such relativity of truth plays a major role in the ...

At the frontiers of theoretical physics, many of the most popular ideas have one thing in common: they begin from a mathematical framework that seeks to explain more things than our currently ...
