Random geometry and quantum gravity represent interwoven themes at the frontier of modern mathematical physics. These fields examine the stochastic nature of geometric structures that underpin quantum ...
The following is an excerpt from The Gravity of Math: How Geometry Rules the Universe by Steve Nadis and Shing-Tung Yau. Copyright 2024. Available from Basic Books ...
The universe’s accelerating expansion has long puzzled physicists. For decades, dark energy, an unseen force thought to make up nearly 70% of the cosmos, has been the leading explanation. But a new ...
How can Einstein's theory of gravity be unified with quantum mechanics? It is a challenge that could give us deep insights into phenomena such as black holes and the birth of the universe. Now, a new ...

General Relativity, Einstein’s seminal theory of gravitation, remains a pillar of modern physics by describing gravity as the curvature of spacetime. Nonetheless, persistent questions—ranging from the ...
After Albert Einstein published his special theory of relativity in 1905, he spent the next decade trying to come up with a theory of gravity. But for years, he kept running up against a problem. He ...
Science journalist Nadis and Tsinghua University mathematician Yau follow up 2019’s The Shape of a Life with an esoteric exploration of geometry’s role in explaining gravity and the structure of the ...
