We explore Objective Collapse Theories in a down to earth objective way. Objective Collapse Theories offer a explanation of quantum mechanics that is at once brand new and based in classical mechanics ...

(THE CONVERSATION) A clever mathematical tool known as virtual particles unlocks the strange and mysterious inner workings of subatomic particles. What happens to these particles within atoms would ...

A straightforward math tweak could bring tachyon fields into line with the rest of physics. Tachyons are faster-than-light particles, and tachyon fields are special cases of quantum field. The math ...

For over 100 years, two theories have shaped our understanding of the universe: quantum mechanics and Einstein’s general relativity. One explains the tiny world of particles; the other describes ...

“A theory that coherently describes all fundamental forces of nature is often called the Theory of Everything,” Aalto University postdoctoral researcher Mikko Partanen said. It has been the physicists ...

Albert Einstein’s mind reinvented space and time, foretelling a universe so bizarre and grand that it has challenged the limits of human imagination. An idea born in a Swiss patent office that evolved ...

Dipangkar Dutta receives funding from US Dept. of Energy and NSF. A clever mathematical tool known as virtual particles unlocks the strange and mysterious inner workings of subatomic particles. What ...

Physicist Richard Feynman invented them to describe the interactions between real particles. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. This ...
