Recent research shows that gravity and quantum information are deeply connected and that the shape of spacetime can be traced back to the way information is stored in quantum fields. Einstein's theory ...

Science and Scripture offer very different ways of talking about beginnings. The real question may be less about choosing one ...

IntroductionIn this series, we are testing the idea that "the universe might be a simulation running on a giant computer" by ...

Most of us recognize basic phases of matter and their properties: solids maintain their shape, liquids flow freely with ...

Metaphysics The Nature of Reality Simon Everson says Immanuel Kant can help with quantum mechanics. Could it be that the ...

Einstein’s theory of general relativity describes gravity as the curvature of space and time caused by matter and energy.

When I gaze at the shadows of dappled sunlight, I notice a ruleless beauty spreading at my feet. The light and shade created ...

Oxford physicists have recreated a bizarre quantum effect in which a particle responds to a magnetic field without ever traveling through it. Using a hybrid quantum computer, they demonstrated how ...

When politicians impose their ideology on science, they are seeking to control what is true and what is not. Since World War II, the United States has dominated science and technology. With more than ...

University of Chicago researchers have built a first-principles framework that fully models how spin defects shed energy, ...

Scientists have discovered that the universe's fundamental physical constants may be finely balanced to make life possible. Even tiny changes to these constants could make liquids too thick or too ...
