Like physics, math has its own set of “fundamental particles”—the prime numbers, which can’t be broken down into smaller ...

Imagination has never been the most intractable problem in the physics of warp drive; it has been bookkeeping. The Alcubierre concept of 1994, the celebrated one, fits in the general relativity theory ...

It might sound strange to think about physics (which often involves a lot of theory and hypotheticals) helping people solve mathematics problems. However, physics follows many math patterns very ...

Breakthroughs in physics sometimes require an assist from the field of mathematics—and vice versa. In 1912, Albert Einstein, then a 33-year-old theoretical physicist at the Eidgenössische Technische ...

Everybody knows that quantum physics is weird, right? Indeed, quantum physicist Richard Feynman once said in a lecture: “The theory of quantum electrodynamics describes Nature as absurd from the point ...

This article is the first part of a series about quantum field theory published by Quanta Magazine. Other stories in the series can be found here. Over the past century, quantum field theory has ...

"From my own knowledge of these things, physics is not something that girls tend to fancy. They don't want to do it … There's a lot of hard math in there that I think that they would rather not do," ...
