A pair of scientists from the UK recently published a pre-print research paper discussing the theory of a universe with no beginning. Imagine it: our universe has always existed. The Big Bang either ...

It is a matter for celebration when two illustrious theoreticians such as Kip Thorne and Roger Blandford provide an in-depth description of the fundamentals of classical physics. Modern Classical ...

Researchers have proposed a new interpretation of classical physics without real numbers. This new study challenges the traditional view of classical physics as deterministic. Researchers from the ...

Do the laws of quantum mechanics place any limits on how well a classical experimentalist can characterize the state and dynamics of a large quantum system? As a thought experiment, consider that we ...

This month Tom Rother, scientist at IMF, published the book “Green’s Functions in Classical Physics” in the book series Lecture Notes in Physics released by Springer. The book presents the Green’s ...

Glowing electric pickles, flaming money, and flying toilet paper help the Physics Circus at The University of Texas at Austin teach science to non-physicists, especially school children. Now a new ...

Out with the old: Many undergraduate physics curricula need revamping. (Courtesy: iStock/Pobytov) Physics education has a high inertia towards change. While high-school students in today’s biology ...

With simple arguments, researchers show that nature is complicated! Researchers have made a simple experiment that demonstrates that nature violates common sense. The experiment illustrates that light ...

Quantum mechanics is not just about teeny particles. It applies to things of all sizes: birds, plants, maybe even people According to standard physics textbooks, quantum mechanics is the theory of the ...

It’s no surprise that quantum physics can be disorienting to the casual observer; after all, it does follow its own set of rules quite different from those of classical physics which rule over our ...
