The search for quantum gravity has gone on for 100 years, but it is not the only unification challenge in physics. Many of us ...
It turns out that there is a certain mathematical object called the Alena Tensor, which allows the description of physical phenomena in such a way that the curvature of space-time can be smoothly ...
This quirk of space-time is not only observable and measurable, it's an excellent tool for understanding the Universe. But a team of researchers has just found that the predicted curvature of ...
He discussed space of four or more dimensions, and paved the way for the General Theory of Relativity Just 100 years ago the young Bernhard Riemann gave his famed paper on the foundations of geometry.
That describes the largest structures in the universe in terms of curvature of space and time. On the other hand, we have quantum theory. Which very successfully describes the elementary particles.
Gravitational physicists explore the implications of the general theory of relativity, in which gravitation is a consequence of the curvature of space and time. This curvature thus controls the motion ...
