Over the short span of just 300 years, since the invention of modern physics, we have gained a deeper understanding of how our universe works on both small and large scales. Yet, physics is still very ...

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 ...

An overview of some unresolved questions in modern physics, including challenges in understanding gravity, quantum mechanics, and the structure of the universe.

Dr. Michael Guillén says his deep understanding of science — including modern cosmology and human consciousness — ...
