Can quantum systems become more disordered, as thermodynamics would predict? Yes, they can - if a proper definition of "entropy" is used. It is one of the most important laws of nature that we know: ...
This puzzle is known as the problem of time, and it remains one of the most persistent obstacles to a unified theory of ...
Gravity is supposed to be the most familiar force in nature, yet at the deepest level it remains the least understood. A bold ...
For more than a century, modern physics has rested on two towering frameworks that do not quite agree with each other.
The fundamental laws of physics insist that no patterns can permanently survive nature’s steady course towards disorder – or can they? A new proof offers a peculiar counterexample to the once-settled ...
In a recent paper, SFI Professor David Wolpert, SFI Fractal Faculty member Carlo Rovelli, and physicist Jordan Scharnhorst ...
