This interaction could help explain both why quantum processes can occur within environments like the brain and why we lose consciousness under anesthesia.

Einstein’s claim that the speed of light is constant has survived more than a century of scrutiny—but scientists are still ...

A new physics paper takes a step toward creating a long-sought "theory of everything" by uniting gravity with the quantum world. However, the new theory remains far from being proven observationally.

Quantum theory and Einstein's theory of general relativity are two of the greatest successes in modern physics. Each works ...

A new theory of quantum gravity, which attempts to unite quantum physics with Einstein's relativity, could help solve the puzzle of the universe's expansion, a theoretical paper suggests. When you ...

Physicists have proposed a new model of space-time that may provide the 'first observational evidence supporting string theory,' a new preprint suggests. When you purchase through links on our site, ...

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 ...

In this video, we explore the relationship between string theory and quantum field theory (QFT). QFT is a mathematical ...

Quantum collapse models represent a class of theoretical modifications to standard quantum mechanics that seek to resolve the long‐standing measurement problem. They posit that the linear evolution of ...

This post is part 1 of a series. It is coauthored by Liane Gabora, Emmanuel Pothos, and Iana Bashmakova. There is a trend toward increased openness in science, and one aspect of this involves sharing ...
