In the strange world of quantum mechanics, objects can exist in several states at once. This concept, called superposition, is one of the most puzzling features of quantum theory. A particle, for ...
Astronomers have proposed a new theory to suggest why our universe is expanding at an accelerating rate. That our universe is expanding is in wide agreement, though how exactly that process happens is ...
The universe is a fascinating tapestry of possibilities, woven from the threads of quantum mechanics. Among the most provocative ideas emerging from this field is the many-worlds interpretation (MWI), ...
Google on Monday announced Willow, its latest, greatest quantum computing chip. The speed and reliability performance claims Google’s made about this chip were newsworthy in themselves, but what ...
The universe is expanding faster and faster, but not all scientists agree that dark energy is the cause. Perhaps, instead, our universe keeps colliding with and absorbing smaller 'baby universes,' a ...
Discovering what happens to planets, stars, galaxies, and black holes in the far, far future. Also, discovering what the 'Big Rip' and the 'Big Crunch' are. And exploring the science of the multiple ...
I can’t be the only one here displeased by our current timeline. It’s pretty hard to experience endless COVID, debates about whether it’s genocide or just a little ethnic cleansing, and climate change ...
Albert Einstein stands next to Catholic priest Georges Lemaître in a black and white photo from 1900 In 1915, Albert Einstein published his theory of general relativity, which originally stated that ...
