Imagine a spaceship driven not by engines, but by compressing the spacetime in front of it. That's the realm of science fiction, right? Well, not entirely. Physicists have been exploring the ...
Physicists have been exploring the theoretical possibility of spaceships driven by compressing the four-dimensional spacetime for decades. Although this so-called 'warp drive' originates from the ...
Gravity used to be the most down-to-earth of ideas, the thing that kept apples falling and planets in line. Now a growing group of physicists is treating it as a possible glitch report from the fabric ...
Merging neutron stars are excellent targets for multi-messenger astronomy. This modern and still very young method of astrophysics coordinates observations of the various signals from one and the same ...
In that shift, gravity stops being just a classical field and becomes a candidate “status report” from the underlying code. I see this as a subtle but important reframing: the simulation idea is no ...

Physicists are eyeing charged gravitinos—ultra-heavy, stable particles from supergravity theory—as possible Dark Matter candidates. Unlike axions or WIMPs, these particles carry electric charge but ...
