Mathematics can be a subject that’s a bit unrelatable for some. Perhaps you recall sitting in a math class at some point, wondering, “When am I ever going to use quadratic equations?” But a new book ...

Dark energy, making up 70% of the universe, causes its accelerating expansion. Gravitational waves, predicted by Einstein, were detected from colliding black holes. The Event Horizon Telescope imaged ...

Einstein's 1917 paper, "Cosmological Considerations in the General Theory of Relativity," applied general relativity to the universe as a whole, establishing a firmer basis for cosmology. To create a ...

If you believe the Mathematical Universe Hypothesis then yes. And so are you. Quantum phenomena have no subjective qualities and have questionable physicality. They seem to be completely describable ...

BROOKLYN, N.Y. — Scientists have long used mathematics to describe the physical properties of the universe. But what if the universe itself is math? That's what cosmologist Max Tegmark believes. In ...

Although Einstein’s theory of space-time seems more complicated than Newtonian physics, it greatly simplified the mathematical description of the universe. Isaac Newton and other premodern physicists ...

Nearly twenty years after I graduated high school and my last calculus class, I still get that nightmare where I’m at the exam for a calculus course I somehow forgot to attend, or that I faked my way ...
