Physicists once treated Einstein’s picture of a clockwork universe as the gold standard for what “reality” should look like, ...

For more than a century, gravity has been the stubborn outlier in physics, resisting every attempt to be folded neatly into the quantum rules that govern the rest of nature. Now a convergence of bold ...

The ball rolls across the floor because it was kicked, just as Earth orbits the sun because it is tugged by gravity. The connection between cause and effect is fundamental to how we understand the ...

Yet it is not regarded as absurd today. After exhaustive proofs of entanglement's authenticity in the real world, it is now the key resource in quantum information theory, allowing quantum ...

If you asked a thousand physicists, they would all disagree. This statement could apply to any number of topics – whether the universe is infinite, what dark matter is made of, how to make wires ...
