If true, the idea would blow past one of physics’ most sacred limits: that parallel versions of reality can never talk to ...

Cosmology and quantum physics both offer tantalizing possibilities that we inhabit just one reality among many. But testing that idea is challenging.

To reach this conclusion, the researchers examined the most basic form of entanglement between identical particles using the concept of nonlocality introduced by physicist John Bell. While ...

I keep coming back to a strange idea: what if everything we know about quantum physics is already encoded inside a single atom? Not in a mystical sense, but in the very real way that one tiny system ...

"We have long treated the Planck scale like a blurry limit," said Kulkarni. "But if you treat space as an information storage medium, geometry dictates a specific packing efficiency. The universe has ...

Even given a set of possible quantum states for our cosmos, it's impossible for us to determine which one of them is correct ...

Nearly 50 years ago, physicists floated a bold idea: our universe might be stuck in a false vacuum. This state feels stable, but deep down, it's not. Over enormous timescales, it could suddenly tip ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. In 2022 three scientists won the Nobel Prize in Physics for proving something astonishing: the universe is not locally real. In ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Most people have never heard of vacuum decay, but if it happened it would be the biggest natural disaster in the universe. Sure, ...

For the first time in Cougar history, Brigham Young University students competed in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology ...

For decades, physicists have faced one of science’s greatest puzzles: merging quantum mechanics, which describes tiny particles, with general relativity, which explains the universe’s vast structures.
