Mind = blown.

Gravity is supposed to be the most familiar force in nature, yet at the deepest level it remains the least understood. A bold ...

Can quantum systems become more disordered, as thermodynamics would predict? Yes, they can - if a proper definition of "entropy" is used. It is one of the most important laws of nature that we know: ...

This puzzle is known as the problem of time, and it remains one of the most persistent obstacles to a unified theory of ...

One of the most fundamental ideas in physics is that the disorder of the universe, also known as entropy, is constantly increasing. But, life’s inherent chemical makeup has been hacking the disorder ...

Most physicists doubt that time exists. On this page 40 years ago, we published scientific ‘proof’ of time being illusory. We pointed out that none of the equations of physics, from Newton’s laws to ...

How can the strange properties of quantum particles be exploited to perform extremely accurate measurements? This question is at the heart of the research field of quantum metrology. One example is ...
