Attempts to describe quantum physics are rarely enjoyable, but Paul Davies' zeal in Quantum 2.0 sometimes steers too close to ...

If so, laws might change when the universe itself changes phase. In the early universe, as temperatures and densities shifted, forces split apart from a unified origin. What we call “laws” may be like ...

At the turn of the century, it sounded as if string theory could give us big answers about the universe. Well… has it?

Quantum mechanics and the many-worlds theory suggest infinite parallel universes where every choice creates a new branch of ...

(via Sabine Hossenfelder) In a recently published paper, a group of physicists outlined a new theory which might explain why our universe contains solid matter. According to the paper, the universe ...

The scientist has published a new book that charts a journey across the disciplines seeking an elusive ‘coordinate to describe the world’ ...

Physicists are still puzzling over the true nature of dark matter and dark energy, because they have inexplicably added 10 times as much mass as normal matter has to the universe. Looking at the ...

Quantum Physics Pioneers take home the Nobel Prize: John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret, and John M. Martinis. All images in this article are by Ralph Losey using AI image generation tools. Their ...

The nature of gravity — and whether it can be reconciled with quantum mechanics — is one of the biggest mysteries in physics. Most researchers think that at a fundamental level, all phenomena follow ...

What happens when the two most successful theories in science completely disagree? You get quantum gravity—a chaotic battlefield where time might not exist, and gravity behaves like a quantum ghost.

Few topics in science are as fascinating and mind-bending as quantum computing and parallel universes. These concepts, once the exclusive domain of science fiction, are now being seriously explored by ...

Recent progress in both analog and digital quantum simulations heralds a future in which quantum computers could simulate — and thereby illuminate — physical phenomena that are far too complex for ...
