Physics and Astronomy

In modern theoretical physics, one of the most compelling and challenging goals is to find a Theory of Everything (TOE)—a single, all-encompassing framework capable of describing every fundamental aspect of reality, from the large-scale structure of the cosmos to the most microscopic quantum phenomena. Over the years, candidates for such a theory have included string […]

Is space-time really doomed? Has a new, exotic geometric shape—dubbed the “amplituhedron”—emerged to replace the familiar fabric of reality? If you have been following theoretical physics over the last decade, you might have read headline-grabbing statements about the “end of space-time,” “new shapes supplanting space-time,” or “revolutionary geometry rewriting the Standard Model.” In a media […]
