Asking what existed before the Big Bang is often dismissed as meaningless, since traditional physics breaks down when pushed ...

A quantum computer that uses particles of light took about two dozen microseconds to complete a calculation that may take ...

Scientists are rethinking the universe’s deepest mysteries using numerical relativity, complex computer simulations of ...

Today in the history of astronomy, the outbreak of WWI derails eclipse research.

For Einstein, Hume’s ideas helped him to let go of his “intellectual habits”, a breakthrough that contributed to his theories of Special Relativity and General Relativity.

Modern research exposes a surprising gap in Einstein’s famous theory that could change our view of the universe.

Their findings demonstrate, with atomic-level precision, the dual yet evasive nature of light. They also happen to confirm that Albert Einstein was wrong about this particular quantum scenario.

MIT physicists recreated the double-slit experiment using ultracold atoms, confirming Bohr’s quantum theory and challenging Einstein’s classical view.

Albert Einstein famously disliked quantum theory’s understanding that physical objects, including light, exist as both a particle and a wave, and that this duality could not be simultaneously ...

Two centuries ago, the double-slit experiment revealed the strange nature of light – somewhat wave and somewhat particle. This quietly launched modern quantum theory. Now, a team at the Massachusetts ...

A new version of the famous double-slit experiment showed that it's impossible to measure light as both a wave and a particle at the same time, thanks to quantum physics' uncertainty principle.

After 100 years, physicists still don’t agree what quantum physics actually means Does God play dice with the universe? Well, depends who you ask.
