The speed of light has been one of science’s most trusted markers of stability. For more than a century, the idea that light ...

Quantum theory fails to explain how the reality we experience emerges from the world of particles. A new take on quantum ...

Physicists have demonstrated with unprecedented accuracy that the speed of light remains constant. In 1887, a landmark physics experiment was carried out by American researchers Michelson and Morley.

At the turn of the century, it sounded as if string theory could give us big answers about the universe. Well… has it?

In 1887, one of the most important experiments in the history of physics took place. American scientists Michelson and Morley ...

You may think of physics as a way to explain the behaviors of things like black holes, colliding particles, falling apples, and quantum computers. But a small group physicists today is working on a ...

Consciousness is fundamental; only thereafter do time, space and matter arise. This is the starting point for a new ...

Scientists Are Trying New Ways To Verify The Idea That Could Unite All Of Physics. In 1980, Stephen Hawking gave his first ...

In this episode, Shini explores sea level, kinetic theory, and phase changes. How the heck do we map out a planet without oceans? There's some tricky, yet fascinating science behind all of it! In this ...

IN 1994, on a warm summer’s evening in Erice, in Sicily, in the midst of a pleasantly well-lubricated dinner, two physicists made a wager on the laws of nature. The bet between Kenneth Lane and David ...
