A short piece about Alejandro Garcia, a professor at San Jose State who teaches physics to animation students and is now consulting DreamWorks animators on how to incorporate believable physics into ...

A unified Theory Of Everything is the holy grail of physics, but gravity refuses to play ball. A newly proposed theory attempts to unify Einstein’s theory of gravity with quantum mechanics – and ...

Students learn how mass and distance affect the force of gravity between objects. Gravity: Students learn how mass and distance affect the force of gravity between objects, and how to apply Newton’s ...

For more than a century, gravity has been the stubborn outlier in physics, perfectly described on cosmic scales yet refusing to mesh with the quantum rules that govern everything else. A growing camp ...

Large masses – such as a galaxy – curve space-time. Objects move along a geodesic. If we take into account that space-time itself has quantum properties, deviations arise (dashed line vs. solid line).

A rift runs deep through the heart of physics. The general theory of relativity, which describes gravity, clashes with quantum physics. In an effort to seal that physics fissure, untold numbers of ...
