Physicists once treated Einstein’s picture of a clockwork universe as the gold standard for what “reality” should look like, ...
Quantum mechanics and general relativity are the two pinnacles of 20th-century physics. In their respective fields, scientists have demonstrated time and time again how correct these theories are.
A deceptively simple experiment that involves making precise measurements of the time it takes for a particle to go from point A to point B could cause a breakthrough in quantum physics. The findings ...
Physicists are trying to rewrite the axioms of quantum theory from scratch in an effort to understand what it all means. The problem? They’ve been almost too successful. Scientists have been using ...
Quantum theory fails to explain how the reality we experience emerges from the world of particles. A new take on quantum ...
A RECENT GROUNDBREAKING EXPERIMENT in which anesthesia was administered to rats has convinced scientists that tiny structures in the rodents’ brains are responsible for the experience of consciousness ...
William Mark Stuckey does not work for, consult, own shares in or receive funding from any company or organization that would benefit from this article, and has disclosed no relevant affiliations ...
Where did the universe come from? Where is it headed? Answering these ­questions requires that we understand physics on two vastly different scales: the cosmological, referring to the realm of galaxy ...
