America Runs on Natural Gas: Fuel Set to Surpass Oil as US Top Energy Source by 2030 For 75 years, petroleum has been the energy source that has powered the US more than any other. That’s about to change. By the end of the decade, natural gas will likely surpass oil for the first time after the gap all but disappeared in 2025.

Quantum mechanics explains the behavior of the microscopic world, while Einstein's theory of gravity describes the motion of stars, black holes and the expansion of the universe. Yet despite their successes, physicists are still searching for a theory of "quantum gravity" that would unite them into a single description of...
