A colossal structure in the distant Universe is defying our understanding of how the Universe evolved. In light that has traveled for 6.9 billion years to reach us, astronomers have found a giant, ...

Physicists hope that understanding the churning region near singularities might help them reconcile gravity and quantum mechanics. At the beginning of time and the center of every black hole lies a ...

Whether space-time exists should neither be controversial nor even conceptually challenging, given the definitions of “space-time,” “events” and “instants.” The idea that space-time exists is no more ...

John von Neumann came about as close as humanly possible to embodying the Platonic ideal of a genius. Conversant in ancient Greek by age 6, the Hungarian made significant mathematical advances in his ...

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 ...

In this week’s episode of Space Minds, host Mike Gruss speaks with SpaceNews Senior Staff Writer and Business Intelligence Manager Jason Rainbow about the white paper, Understanding the SpaceX-Era ...
