Three thought experiments involving “demons” have haunted physics for centuries. What should we make of them today?

The dominant view in physics is simple: the laws of nature are fixed. Gravity pulls as it always has; quantum probabilities collapse with the same stubborn indifference today as billions of years ago.

Sometimes, science doesn't result in new gadgets or medical breakthroughs, it simply helps us understand how truly strange our universe is. That was the case when physicist Lu Li and his team of ...

Researchers have discovered quantum oscillations inside an insulating material, overturning long-held assumptions. Their work at the National Magnetic Field Laboratory suggests that the effect ...

Physics and Python stuff. Most of the videos here are either adapted from class lectures or solving physics problems. I really like to use numerical calculations without all the fancy programming ...

Scientists have created a new ice form, ice XXI, at room temperature under immense pressure. This breakthrough, achieved using advanced X-ray facilities, reveals water's complex behavior under extreme ...

Three decades ago, financial adviser Bill Bengen created a retirement principle called the 4% rule. It went viral. Now, the rule is getting an update. The 4% rule says you should plan to spend 4% of ...

It may sound like a plot twist out of a science fiction novel, but researchers have detected mysterious radio signals coming from beneath the Antarctic ice that appear to be inconsistent with the ...

Could our universe be expanding then shrinking back into a tiny point, reliving a kind of big bang over and over again? Probably not, according to a mathematical analysis that argues that the laws of ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: For nearly a century, the magnetic anomaly of the fundamental particle known as a muon has served as a means to test theories against experimental ...
