Teleology is the idea that some processes in nature are directed toward a goal or an end. Today, it is commonly asserted that teleology is a remnant of antiquated ways of thinking about causation, and ...

The story begins with the black hole information paradox. According to relativity, anything that falls into a black hole is ...

Repulsive gravity at the quantum scale would have flattened out inhomogeneities in the early universe First light The cosmic microwave background, as imaged by the European Space Agency’s Planck ...

I've long been fascinated by the fundamental mystery of our universe's origin. In my work, I explore an alternative to the ...

Scientists have been using complicated, hypothetical particles to explain the Big Bang, but this theory posits that a simpler ...

Matrix models have emerged as a powerful framework in theoretical physics, offering a nonperturbative approach to describing quantum space-time. In these models, fundamental degrees of freedom are ...

Quantum cosmology and loop quantum gravity constitute two intertwined pillars in the quest for a quantum theory of gravity. Quantum cosmology applies the principles of quantum mechanics to the entire ...

Nobel Laureate in Physics Professor Serge Haroche is among dozens of world-renowned scientists attending the international ...

When I translated Stephen Hawking’s ‘A Brief History of Time’ into Urdu as ‘Waqt ka Safar’ in 1990 for the Mashal Foundation, ...

The universe may have been born out of nothing, with an "anti-universe" twin where time runs in the opposite direction—rather than exploding from an infinitely small and dense point, or "singularity." ...

In a new study published in Physical Review D, Professor Ginestra Bianconi, Professor of Applied Mathematics at Queen Mary University of London, proposes a new framework that could revolutionize our ...

The promise of quantum computers appears to be that they will upend modern computing as we know it. With exceptional computational power, they’ll be performing feats unimaginable for any classical ...
