Gauge theory and string theory represent two foundational pillars in contemporary theoretical physics, offering profound insights into the nature of fundamental interactions and the structure of the ...

At long last, a unified theory combining gravity with the other fundamental forces—electromagnetism and the strong and weak nuclear forces—is within reach. Bringing gravity into the fold has been the ...

A new way of explaining gravity could bring us a step closer to resolving the heretofore irresolvable differences it has with quantum mechanics. Physicists Mikko Partanen and Jukka Tulkki at Aalto ...

“The main idea is to have a gravity gauge theory with a symmetry that is similar to the Standard Model symmetries, instead of basing the theory on the very different kind of spacetime symmetry of ...

Here’s what you’ll learn in this story. A new paper uses a simplified model to prove that gravity can be unified between quantum and standard physics. The simpler model still meets the established ...
