Discover the 25 fundamental physics concepts that govern our universe, from classical mechanics to quantum mysteries.

For roughly 40 years, physicists have used conformal field theories to predict the precise ratios separating these energy ...

Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) measures brain activity optically based on changes in cortical blood flow. Unlike magnetic resonance imaging, the technique is wearable, so it can be used ...

Yes, I believe so. Quantum physics and the empirical sciences in general cannot prove God because God is beyond the natural world and beyond the scientific method, even the laws of quantum physics.

A quantum computer chandelier close-up shot. A close-up of a quantum computer. IBM scientists say they have achieved quantum advantage over classical computers in ...

For over a century, physics has operated under a strict double standard. Everyday objects like baseballs and planets move according to the predictable laws of classical mechanics, while subatomic ...

When you throw a ball in the air, the equations of classical physics will tell you exactly what path the ball will take as it falls, and when and where it will land. But if you were to squeeze that ...

CAMBRIDGE, MA -- When you throw a ball in the air, the equations of classical physics will tell you exactly what path the ball will take as it falls, and when and where it will land. But if you were ...

But after reading Decoherence and Quantum Darwinism, a book published in March 2025 by the physicist Wojciech Zurek, I’m excited by the possibility of an answer that does away with all those fanciful ...

The currents of the oceans, the roiling surface of the sun and the clouds of smoke billowing off a forest fire—all are governed by the same laws of physics, and give rise to a complex phenomenon known ...
