In the 18th century, the scientific world was drunk on Newtonian certainty. The universe was a clockwork mechanism, ...

Recently, I watched a fascinating NOVA episode entitled “Einstein’s Quantum Riddle.” It was about advances in the area of quantum mechanics — specifically, what is called “quantum entanglement.” ...

Quantum theory is often sold as a story about tiny particles, but its real disruption lands squarely on our everyday sense of ...

People often wonder why bad things happen to good people. Or, why bad things happen at all, really. Some use this as part of their basis for atheism, saying that they don’t understand why God would ...

For close to a century, scientists have been trying to marry Albert Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity and quantum ...

You might say it all started with a spot of hay fever. In June 1925, a young physicist named Werner Heisenberg retreated to the barren island of Helgoland in the North Sea, seeking respite from his ...

It is something like the "Holy Grail" of physics: unifying particle physics and gravitation. The world of tiny particles is ...

Quantum theory fails to explain how the reality we experience emerges from the world of particles. A new take on quantum ...

Quantum gravity and field theory represent a frontier where the principles of quantum mechanics are reconciled with Einstein’s description of gravity. Researchers are seeking a consistent framework ...

Quantum invariants have emerged as powerful algebraic and numerical tools that encapsulate the subtleties of topological structures. By drawing on quantum group theory and the constructs of ...
