A team of scientists has developed a recipe for black holes that eliminates one of the most troubling aspects of physics: the central singularity, the point at which all our theories, laws and models ...

Three thought experiments involving “demons” have haunted physics for centuries. What should we make of them today?

The majority of physicists live under the assumption of a strict and immutable set of laws that govern the universe — but not all. “What we often call laws of physics are really just consistent ...

Two physicists at the University of Stuttgart have proven that the Carnot principle, a central law of thermodynamics, does not apply to objects on the atomic scale whose physical properties are linked ...

Beginning in the mid-20th century, Western intellectuals began dismantling the concept of objective truth. Postmodern ...

In real life, laws are broken all the time. Besides your everyday criminals, there are scammers and fraudsters, politicians and mobsters, corporations and nations that regard laws as suggestions ...

The idea of emergent gravity is still new and requires a lot of assumptions in its calculations to make it work. But if experimental evidence ever proves it real, we would need to totally rewrite the ...

For two centuries, engineers have trusted a simple rule to predict how heat flows through solids, from jet-engine blades to ...

The laws of physics do not exist, a theoretical physicist named Sankar Das Sarma argues in a new column published by New Scientist. While we define the laws as the "ultimate laws" of our universe, ...
