Combining quantum entanglement with wormholes yields mind boggling results about black holes. But I don't trust them until we have a theory… — Michio Kaku Copy Share Image
“Zero dwells at the juxtaposition of quantum mechanics and relativity; zero lives where the two theories meet, and zero causes the two… — Charles Seife Copy Share Image
In Einstein's general relativity the structure of space can change but not its topology. Topology is the property of something that doesn't… — Edward Witten Copy Share Image
“The dark-matter hypothesis is preferred mostly because the only other possibility-that we are wrong about Newton's laws, and by extension general relativity-is… — Lee Smolin Copy Share Image
“When an important change takes place in science, in which a new theory takes the stagw, the incoming theory is generally an… — John D. Barrow Copy Share Image
“We know that the uncertainty relation implies not only the absence of empty space but also the nature of the minimal content… — Henning Genz Copy Share Image
“All knowledge of reality starts from experience and ends in it.” But he immediately proceeded to emphasize the role that “pure reason”… — Walter Isaacson Copy Share Image
General relativity predicts that time ends inside black holes because the gravitational collapse squeezes matter to infinite density. — Lee Smolin Copy Share Image
“Things have becone even more mysterious. We have recently discovered that when we make observations at still larger scales, corresponding to billions… — Lee Smolin Copy Share Image
We have to have a combination of general relativity that describes the warping of space and time, and quantum physics, which describes… — Kip Thorne Copy Share Image
When general relativity was first put forward in 1915, the math was very unfamiliar to most physicists. Now we teach general relativity… — Brian Greene Copy Share Image
“As mathematicians were uncovering the connection between zero and infinity, physicists began to encounter zeros in the natural world; zero crossed over… — Charles Seife Copy Share Image
General relativity is in the old Newtonian framework where you predict what will happen, not the probability of what will happen. And… — Brian Greene Copy Share Image
“Instead, this time he made what he called a “slight modification” to his theory. To keep the matter in the universe from… — Walter Isaacson Copy Share Image
“We have good reason to believe that space and time begin to merge into quantum mechanical uncertainty at distances this small; they… — Henning Genz Copy Share Image
The field equations and the whole history of general relativity have been complicated. — Rainer Weiss Copy Share Image
In quantum mechanics there is A causing B. The equations do not stand outside that usual paradigm of physics. The real issue… — Brian Greene Copy Share Image
By the time 1967 had rolled around, general relativity had been relegated to mathematics departments... in most people's minds, it bore no… — Rainer Weiss Copy Share Image
“GPS timing is incredibly precise; of all the problems in engineering, it’s one of the only ones in which engineers have been… — Randall Munroe Copy Share Image
Einstein's theory of General Relativity has a mathematical structure very similar to Yang-Mills theory. — Chen-Ning Yang Copy Share Image
The star S0-2 orbits around Sgr A* every 16 years and will go through its closest approach in 2018. That's an opportunity… — Andrea M. Ghez Copy Share Image
“It’s sometimes said that the greatest remaining scientific questions are: What caused the Big Bang? What is the grand unified theory that… — Rick Hanson Copy Share Image
The math of quantum mechanics and the math of general relativity, when they confront one another, they are ferocious antagonists and the… — Brian Greene Copy Share Image
“Removing zero from the universe might seem like a drastic step, but strings are much more tractable than dots; by eliminating zero,… — Charles Seife Copy Share Image
