For important research, papers published between October 13 and 16 are also included as supplementary information.1.

In a continuous pursuit to understand the fundamental laws that govern the universe, researchers have ventured deep into the realms of string theory, loop quantum gravity, and quantum geometry. These ...

Fractal geometry introduces a paradigm in which spacetime exhibits scale-dependent structure characterised by non-integer dimensions. In quantum cosmology, such structures arise naturally when ...

An illustration showing energy states as true (left) and false (right) vacuums or valleys. (University of Portsmouth) There's ...

Teleology is the idea that some processes in nature are directed toward a goal or an end. Today, it is commonly asserted that teleology is a remnant of antiquated ways of thinking about causation, and ...

Loop Quantum Cosmology (LQC) applies the non-perturbative techniques of loop quantum gravity to homogeneous cosmological models, yielding a quantum replacement of the classical big-bang singularity by ...

I.O. Echeruo’s ambitious debut follows a Nigerian mathematician haunted by visions of a sun god, where Igbo cosmology, quantum physics and mental health unsettle reality.

Physicists from around the country converged at UC Santa Barbara for two days of talks and camaraderie in memory of esteemed physicist Professor Jim Hartle, one of four cofounders of the campus’s ...

A new model suggests surrounding quantum fields can suppress sudden jumps to a deeper energy state, though researchers say ...

A new study suggests the universe may be trapped in its own comfort zone—and why that is a good thing. The new research ...
