Researchers led by the University of Warwick have developed the first unified method to identify “space-time fluctuations” – small, random disturbances in the structure of space that appear in many attempts to link quantum physics with gravity. These minute changes were first proposed by physicist John Wheeler and are expected to appear in many leading … Read more
Dark matter is thought to be ubiquitous, surrounding galaxies and helping to create the largest objects in the universe. But no one knows what it is made of. Now, a new theoretical study presents a unique and surprising scenario that may provide some of the missing pieces of the puzzle. Some of the dark matter … Read more
Dark spots in light waves may appear to disrupt the speed of light, according to new research from scientists at the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology, confirming the predictions of a half-century-old theory. What the team calls “dark points” are actually vortices – tiny holes in the wave structure of light – as revealed in a … Read more
