If the universe was a soundtrack, we have been humming it our whole life. Every atom in our body, every star in the sky, every beam of light is part of a piece of music that never stops playing.

In a nutshell, string theory is a sprawling realm of theoretical physics that assumes that tiny vibrating strings are the ...

In an unprecedented step, researchers crafted a detailed model compatible with the universe’s accelerated expansion.

Does string theory—the controversial “theory of everything” from physics—tell us anything about consciousness and the human ...

For centuries, the principle of symmetry has guided physicists towards more fundamental truths, but now a slew of shocking ...

The Standard Model of our universe doesn’t match the evidence, in part because of dark energy, a ghostly force pushing the ...

For more than a century, scientists have wondered why physical structures like blood vessels, neurons, tree branches, and ...
