String theory unifies all the forces of nature. Forces that seem very different, such as gravity and electricity, are deeply ...

Physicist Mir Faizal, Adjunct Professor with UBC Okanagan’s Irving K. Barber Faculty of Science, was not out to shatter the ...

Scientists have long held that the universe is expanding at an ever-increasing rate, driven by a mysterious but measurable ...

The universe's expansion may actually have started to slow rather than accelerating at an ever-increasing rate as previously ...

The Universe may not have begun with a Big Bang, but instead with a Big Bounce, according to a new theory about how the ...

The possibility that our entire universe merely exists inside a computer simulation is more than an idle science fiction ...

A team of physicists led by Mir Faizal argues the universe cannot be simulated, saying reality includes non-computable truths beyond any algorithm or AI model ...

A new theory of quantum gravity, which attempts to unite quantum physics with Einstein's relativity, could help solve the puzzle of the universe's expansion, a theoretical paper suggests. When you ...

The search for quantum gravity is the next big step in physics, as researchers seek to unify the physics of the very small ...

Black holes, regions of spacetime in which gravity is so strong that nothing can escape, are intriguing and extensively ...

For a half-century, most astrophysicists have accepted the notion that the universe began in a "Big Bang," an unimaginably powerful event in which all the matter and energy in the cosmos expanded ...
