Pick a pen up off of your desk, hold it about a foot above the flat surface, and then let it drop. It hits the surface, and despite the fact that quantum mechanics suggest that there is a (very) small ...

Physicists construct theories to describe nature. Let us explain it through an analogy with something that we can do in our everyday life, like going on a hike in the mountains. To avoid getting lost, ...

Many mathematical puzzles in everyday life, like estimating travel time or making a budget, are straightforward. The building blocks that we learn as children — addition, subtraction, multiplication, ...

Physicists know about the huge chasm between quantum physics and the theory of gravity. However, in recent decades, theoretical physics has provided some plausible conjecture to bridge this gap and to ...

Turbulence plays an essential role in weather and climate, and correctly representing its effects in numerical models is crucial for accurate weather forecasts and climate projections. However, the ...

Various crises have revealed that leaders’ decision-making roles have become more intense. shutterstock Universities are complex, dynamic organisations which must adapt in ways that aren’t always ...

An international team of researchers shows through a concrete theoretical experiment that the prediction by standard complex quantum theory cannot be expressed by its real counterpart and ratifies its ...
