Physicists are exploring the idea that our universe may have more dimensions than the three of space and one of time we experience. String theory suggests these extra dimensions are essential for ...

String theory aims to explain all fundamental forces and particles in the universe—essentially, how the world operates on the smallest scales. Though it has not yet been experimentally verified, work ...

Black holes, the densest objects in the universe, eat up anything that comes too close, even light. Is there anything left inside these behemoths that could reveal what they devoured in the first ...

The Big Bang may be a Big Bogus. A team of physicists at the University of Portsmouth theorize that the universe was created by a massive, reality-shattering bounce — with material from an ancient ...
