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

A team of international physicists has delivered a striking challenge to one of the most provocative ideas in modern science: ...

A mathematical test for the nature of space-time – the fabric of physical reality – may be the first step towards novel computer-like devices that process information using gravity. Eleftherios-Ermis ...

The first time a physicist told me they wanted to get rid of space-time, on a cold January morning earlier this year, I stopped typing my interview notes and clutched my New Scientist mug of tea.

Oftentimes, we think of space as an endless, mostly empty vacuum, a silent backdrop where planets, stars, and galaxies play out their dance. We also think of time as something separate, a steady ...

Theoretical computer scientists are always probing the relationship of space (memory) and time. For 50 years, experts knew that a calculation of X steps required X/log X memory slots, but a new study ...

A fringe new theory suggests that time is the fundamental structure of the physical universe, and space is merely a byproduct. According to Gunther Kletetschka, a geologist — not a physicist, you’ll ...

A new physics paper takes a step toward creating a long-sought "theory of everything" by uniting gravity with the quantum world. However, the new theory remains far from being proven observationally.

What if, just before we reach the bottom, we find out that reductionism fails? Big things are made of smaller things, and those smaller things are made of smaller things still. That’s reductionism in ...

Quantum gravity challenges the classical notion of spacetime by positing that the smooth, continuous fabric described by general relativity may arise from more fundamental, non-spatiotemporal entities ...

John Michael 'Ozzy' Osbourne was released from his Earthly bounds on July 22, 2025 but his influence will live on forever. Heavy metal pioneer Ozzy Osbourne died on July 22 after battling with ...
