Institute for Advanced Study

Located in Princeton, this institute is the premier place for physicists to research. Einstein worked here, as did Greene, Aspinwall, and Morrison when they discovered flop-transitions.

Antimatter

Has the same gravitational properties as matter, but an opposite electric charge and force charge.

Atom

Composed of a nucleus and electrons. The atom is the fundamental building block of everything.

Black Hole

A point in space with huge gravitational force. Even light may not be able to escape after crossing a black hold's event horizon.

Dimension

A direction in space or spacetime. The three most familiar dimensions are left-right, up-down, and back-forth.

Calabi-Yau Space

A six-dimensional shape with curled-up spatial dimensions.

Graviton

The smallest possible bit of gravitational force.

Nucleus

Core of an atom made up of protons and neutrons...
