The theoretical physicist and best-selling author finds inspiration in politics and philosophy for rethinking space and time.

Just over a week ago, European physicists announced they had measured the strength of gravity on the smallest scale ever. In a clever tabletop experiment, researchers at Leiden University in the ...

It isn’t often that physics produces news that diverts the mainstream media from politics, crime and sports. But, now, in the space of four years’ time, physicists have twice elevated the intellectual ...

There are few sports more exciting than playoff baseball, but behind every pitch there is also a fascinating story of physics ...

A longstanding goal in physics has been to link general relativity with quantum theory and so unify the forces of nature. Theories of quantum gravity, however, are plagued by the weak theoretical ...
