“We showed that if black hole morsels are created during mergers, they would produce a burst of high-energy gamma rays, with the delay time related to their mass,” Dr. Cacciapaglia said. “Our analysis ...

A long-standing challenge in physics has been to integrate gravity into the Standard Model, which successfully describes the electromagnetic, weak, and strong forces. The difficulty lies in the ...

Quantum gravity and field theory represent a frontier where the principles of quantum mechanics are reconciled with Einstein’s description of gravity. Researchers are seeking a consistent framework ...

Quantum gravity strives to reconcile the seemingly disparate realms of general relativity and quantum mechanics. Central to this endeavour is the realisation that classical concepts of spacetime may ...

Even with quantum mechanics and relativity, physics can’t explain everything. Three problems — quantum gravity, dark matter, ...

New research from UBC Okanagan mathematically demonstrates that the universe cannot be simulated. Using Gödel’s ...

Three Alberta universities are pooling their resources to investigate the fundamentals of quantum science, with a focus on driving innovation decades from now. “It’s vital right now,” said Rob ...
