In a cafe at CERN in 1992, three physicists realized they disagreed about how many constants are needed to describe all of nature. A recent paper suggests only one – time – is necessary.

A group of Brazilian researchers has presented an innovative proposal to resolve a decades-old debate among theoretical physicists: how many fundamental constants are needed to describe the observable ...

An international team of astronomers has looked at something very big — a distant galaxy — to study the behavior of things very small — atoms and molecules — to gain vital clues about the fundamental ...

In physics, the treatment of time is a central issue. In physics, the treatment of time is a central issue. It has been treated as a question of geometry. One can measure time and treat it as a ...
