The Langlands program has inspired and befuddled mathematicians for more than 50 years. A major advance has now opened up new ...

One of the biggest stories in science is quietly playing out in the world of abstract mathematics. Over the course of last ...

Scientists propose “DNA of the universe” is gap in Einstein’s hunt for unified physics theory. ... “Saying that matter interactions all come from the metric of classical spacetime means, ...

For decades, physicists have been looking at the grand unified theory and two main candidates have been put forward, string theory and quantum loop gravity. Now, a group of researchers have ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Quantum gravity remains one of the big missing pieces of a Grand Unified Theory that could bridge quantum field theory and general relativity.

The Langlands program has been described by mathematician Edward Frankel as the “grand unified theory of mathematics.”Conceived by Robert Langlands in 1967, the program includes numerous ...

Mathematicians are celebrating a 1000-page proof of the geometric Langlands conjecture, a problem so complicated that even other mathematicians struggle to understand it. Despite that, it is hoped ...

A radical theory that consistently unifies gravity and quantum mechanics while preserving Einstein's classical concept of spacetime has been announced in two papers published simultaneously by UCL ...

Scientists propose “DNA of the universe” is gap in Einstein’s hunt for unified physics theory Physicists say they detected a double helix in the fabric of spacetime ...
