There are many types of spacetime within physics, the same way there are infinite dimensions in math. Some spacetimes are ...

When speaking of our universe, it's often said that "matter tells spacetime how to curve, and curved spacetime tells matter how to move." This is the essence of Albert Einstein's famous general theory ...

It feels so obvious that time moves forward that questioning it can seem almost pointless.

Einstein–Rosen bridges may reflect a two-directional structure of time that preserves information and hints at a pre–Big Bang universe.

Quasicrystals are orderly structures that never repeat. Scientists just showed they can exist in space and time.

Physicists have spent a century trying to reconcile the smooth fabric of spacetime in general relativity with the jittery quantum fields that govern particles, and gravity has stubbornly resisted ...

A new theory suggests that gravity could possibly be the result of entropy. If true, this would mean that everything in the universe would fall apart if it all remained unchanged. This theory tries to ...

For over a century, scientists have been intrigued to decode the perplexing scenery behind contemporary physics. It's been up for many years, and yet the experts still have no idea how to bridge the ...

Although quantum mechanics and general relatively help explain the universe—at both small and cosmic scales—the two theories are fundamentally incompatible with each other. This has spawn theories ...

In the 1900s, Albert Einstein unified the concepts of space and time, giving us a useful new way to picture the universe. At the start of the 20th century, physicists had a problem: The speed of light ...

The big thinkers at Aperture explain relativity and how it warps the fabric of spacetime.

Stephen has degrees in science (Physics major) and arts (English Literature and the History and Philosophy of Science), as well as a Graduate Diploma in Science Communication. Stephen has degrees in ...
