There is something unsettling and thrilling about realizing that the next revolution in human technology may depend on particles that do not seem to obey common sense. For more than a century, quantum mechanics has felt like the strange, abstract side of physics, powering lasers and transistors quietly in the background while most of us ...
Physics was supposed to make the universe feel predictable, yet the deeper scientists dig into the quantum world, the stranger it becomes – and the more it seems to brush up against the mystery of consciousness itself. In laboratories around the world, particles flip between realities, tunnel through walls, and coordinate with partners light-years ...
Walk into any physics lab today and you will find a quiet revolution underway: reality, as quantum experiments keep reminding us, is far stranger than the sturdy, everyday world our senses insist is true. Particles tunnel through barriers they seemingly have no energy to cross, information appears to leap across space faster than anything ...
You’ve experienced light every single day of your life. It wakes you up in the morning, helps you read these words, and guides you through the world. Yet most people never stop to think about what light actually is or how it works its magic on your eyes and across the cosmos. Light isn’t just ...
