A new perspective bridges two approaches to understanding quantum gravity. The modern-day theoretical physicist faces a taxing uphill climb. "As we learn more, reality becomes ever more subtle; the ...
In the late 1960s the renowned University of Oxford physicist and mathematician Roger Penrose came up with a radically new way to develop a unified theory of physics. Instead of seeking to explain how ...
A reworking of the theory of particle interactions — the same theory but rendered in a new form based on twistor geometry — is likely to have wide implications for physics, including the reformulation ...
A diagram depicting a twistor -- an extended entity in space and time that can be thought of as a 2-dimensional light ray. Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert! are not responsible for the accuracy of news ...
The modern-day theoretical physicist faces a taxing uphill climb. "As we learn more, reality becomes ever more subtle; the absolute becomes relative, the fixed becomes dynamical, the definite is laden ...
