One of the greatest mysteries of modern physics, the "black hole information paradox," might have finally found an elegant ...

For more than a century, modern physics has rested on two towering frameworks that do not quite agree with each other. Quantum theory governs particles and fields, while Einstein’s gravity describes ...

Complex network theory has become a key analytical framework in modern physics for studying structure, dynamics, and emergent behaviour in complex systems.

At long last, a unified theory combining gravity with the other fundamental forces—electromagnetism and the strong and weak nuclear forces—is within reach. Bringing gravity into the fold has been the ...
