Real-Life Schrödinger’s Cats Probe the Boundary of the Quantum World

By Philip Ball

Recent experiments have put relatively large objects into quantum states, illuminating the processes by which the ordinary world emerges out of the quantum one.

Time Flow and Infinite Precision Numbers

By Natalie Wolchover

The laws of physics imply that the passage of time is an illusion. To avoid this conclusion, we might have to rethink the reality of infinitely precise numbers.

In a new paper, physicists argue that axions could explain why the universe isn’t empty

Strange Dark Matter Findings

By Carly Minsky

Scientists believe that mysterious dark matter is key to forming galaxies in the cosmos. Now, a recent series of bizarre findings threatens to undermine everything we think we know.

White holes: Do black holes have mirror images?

By Bill Andrews

These black hole opposites would spew energy, be impossible to enter, and might even answer some of the universe’s fundamental questions.

Quantum Darwinism: Moving From the Quantum to the Classical World

By Shawn Radcliffe

The “fittest” quantum properties make the most copies of themselves.

Neutrinos Lead to Unexpected Discovery in Basic Math

By Natalie Wolchover

Three physicists wanted to calculate how neutrinos change. They ended up discovering an unexpected relationship between some of the most ubiquitous objects in math.
