Gravity is supposed to be the most familiar force in nature, yet at the deepest level it remains the least understood. A bold ...
In a recent paper, SFI Professor David Wolpert, SFI Fractal Faculty member Carlo Rovelli, and physicist Jordan Scharnhorst examine a longstanding, paradoxical thought experiment in statistical physics ...
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 new model to account for gravity’s influence.
Explore the implications of Maxwell's Demon and its connection to information theory. This thought experiment demonstrates ...
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: ...
Flux physics refers to continuous change in physical quantities, including energy transfer and dynamic equilibria. Flux is central to many areas of formal and Big-P physics, though intuitive ...
