Physicists are quietly testing an audacious idea: that the mass of everything around us might not come from an invisible ...

The masses of fundamental particles such as the Z and W bosons could have arisen from the twisted geometry of hidden ...

Physicists are exploring whether hidden dimensions and the shape of space could help explain why fundamental particles have ...

A new theory proposes that the universe’s fundamental forces and particle properties may arise from the geometry of hidden extra dimensions. These dimensions could twist and evolve over time, forming ...

LAST month, I wrote about the challenge of explaining space-time. To give people a feeling for what I mean when I say that space-time is curved, sometimes I talk about a rubber sheet with a ball ...
