The only reason we can exist, today, is because one tiny imperfection in the early Universe allows the stars to grow hundreds of times as massive.
Distributing entangled photons over large distances could eventually be used to establish unhackable communications via what’s known as quantum cryptography.
New technique allows atomic spin properties to be measured simultaneously with greater accuracy
Top women in mathematics and physics discuss how they got to where they are — and why there aren’t more of them.
Regarding the future of quantum mechanics, I have to echo Viola in Twelfth Night: “O time, thou must untangle this, not I.”
Is cloning possible? Not cloning as in Dolly the sheep, but cloning as in a Star Trek transporter? Here is the real science of it.
The rise of fascism shaped Schrödinger’s cat fable.
The difference between complexity and entropy, and how complex things like life can arise from disorder.
Why there's no such thing as cause and effect at the level of fundamental particle physics, and how our everyday experience of cause and effect arises due to entropy and the large-scale arrow of time
Why entropy gives rise to the arrow of time, how the initial state of the universe is responsible for the fact that we experience time now, and the ultimate heat death of the universe.
