The universe may end trillions of years sooner than we thought
Recent cosmic surveys reveal that the universe's expansion rate varies far more than current models predict. This discovery challenges decades-old ass…
Are your memories real? Physicists revisit the Boltzmann brain paradox
Physicists have identified circular reasoning in how the scientific community thinks about time and entropy, reopening a century-old debate about whet…
Physicists just found a tiny flaw in time itself
Physicists have discovered that quantum collapse processes, which convert fuzzy quantum possibilities into definite outcomes, may blur time at microsc…
Is consciousness more fundamental to reality than quantum physics?
Physicists are reconsidering a foundational assumption about reality. Traditionally, scientists build explanations from the bottom up, starting with f…
Is consciousness more fundamental to reality than quantum physics?
# Consciousness Takes Center Stage in Physics Physicists have long built their understanding of reality from the bottom up, starting with the smalles…
What is quantum gravity? Scientists think it could explain the beginning of our universe
Physicists are developing a new mathematical framework called quadratic gravity to resolve one of science's deepest puzzles: what happened at the mome…
An unorthodox version of quantum theory could reveal what reality is
Physicist David Bohm developed an alternative interpretation of quantum mechanics that differs fundamentally from the standard model. While convention…
We have figured out a new way to send messages into the past
# Backward Time Communication Gets a Physics Boost Researchers have developed a technique for sending messages into the past by manipulating gravitat…
What is quantum gravity? Scientists think it could explain the beginning of our universe
Physicists have developed a new mathematical framework called "quadratic gravity" that tackles one of science's biggest mysteries: what happened at th…
Breakthrough in experimental light-powered quantum computers could mean scaling them up is now far m
Researchers have solved a major obstacle blocking photonic quantum computers from practical use. The team developed a method to "distill" light, remov…
The rise, the fall and the rebound of cyclic cosmology
Cyclic cosmology, the theory that the universe will collapse back on itself and trigger another big bang, is experiencing renewed scientific interest …
Tokamak regime sustains stable fusion plasma for one minute while easing heat loads
Researchers have sustained stable fusion plasma for one minute in a metal-wall tokamak, achieving three critical conditions simultaneously for the fir…
