The evolution of quantum mechanics has continuously deepened our understanding of the microcosm, guiding researchers from the seminal formulation of the Schrödinger equation to more refined ...

Time travel has shifted from pure fantasy to a serious, if highly constrained, topic in modern physics. The equations that ...

A century after Einstein predicted the outcome from a black hole collision, Frans Pretorius helped pave the way for the actual discovery of the ripples that would expand our understanding of the ...

British theoretical physicist Paul Dirac was one of the most significant figures in the early days of quantum physics, who along with Erwin Schrödinger won the Nobel Prize for physics in 1933. But it ...

Yesterday, I wrote about the core concepts needed to understand quantum physics, which is one of the two pillars of modern physics. The other, of course, is the theory of relativity, the full and ...
