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 ...

This article is more than 8 years old. Verlinde's model uses this connection between thermodynamics (heat, energy and forces) and information through a mathematical method known as the holographic ...

For decades cosmologists have wondered about the nature of dark energy, the proposed antigravitational force behind the accelerating expansion of the universe. Since the 1990s astronomers have ...
