Scientists working with particle colliders have long been at the frontier of discovering new dimensions of reality. Recently, a groundbreaking discovery at a leading particle collider has sent ripples ...

Materials scientist Dr. Yige Sun, from the Department of Materials and Linacre College at the University of Oxford, and the Faraday Institution, argues that as space becomes critical infrastructure ...

What does it mean to be to space-time? The seemingly simple question gets to the essence of twentieth-century physics and has driven a hundred-year debate between philosophy and science. In Einstein’s ...

One of the most awkward parts of writing a book is that, eventually, authors have to ask people for “blurbs” – the endorsements that you see on the cover of a book, encouraging you to buy it. I am now ...

Whether space-time exists should neither be controversial nor even conceptually challenging, given the definitions of “space-time,” “events” and “instants.” The idea that space-time exists is no more ...

Oftentimes, we think of space as an endless, mostly empty vacuum, a silent backdrop where planets, stars, and galaxies play out their dance. We also think of time as something separate, a steady ...
