A new recipe for gravity could help solve some of the universe's greatest mysteries. It suggests that the concept of "quantum gravity" could arise from entropy, possibly solving puzzles put forth by ...

A new theory suggests that gravity could possibly be the result of entropy. If true, this would mean that everything in the universe would fall apart if it all remained unchanged. This theory tries to ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. More than 100 years after Albert Einstein first outlined his ideas ...

The accelerating expansion of the universe could be explained by modifying general relativity so that gravity has mass – or so thinks a small group of physicists. Matthew Francis reports What lies ...

Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity—which explains gravity as the product of the distortion of space and time—may not be universally applicable. This is the conclusion of physicists from ...

Entropy. The word itself should cause insomnia. It means that matter and energy will degrade—ultimately leading to chaos in the universe—if things are left alone. So why is a new theory suggesting ...
