For more than a century, modern physics has rested on two towering frameworks that do not quite agree with each other.
Gravity is supposed to be the most familiar force in nature, yet at the deepest level it remains the least understood. A bold new line of research now argues that gravity is not fundamental at all, ...
"Entropy is a measure of whether a system is in a special, very particular state, in which case the system has low entropy, or whether it is in one of many states that look more or less the same, in ...
We experience the flow of time because it’s a natural outcome of the basic laws of physics. But we may need to build a whole ...
Quantum state diffusion framework makes it possible to characterize quantum measurement in terms of entropy production ...
In a recent paper, SFI Professor David Wolpert, SFI Fractal Faculty member Carlo Rovelli, and physicist Jordan Scharnhorst ...
Can quantum systems become more disordered, as thermodynamics would predict? Yes, they can - if a proper definition of "entropy" is used. It is one of the most important laws of nature that we know: ...
