Quantum theory and general relativity have long described the universe with incompatible languages, one speaking in ...

In the 18th century, the scientific world was drunk on Newtonian certainty. The universe was a clockwork mechanism, ...

Scientists are using anesthesia to probe the quantum roots of consciousness—and the research offers tantalizing evidence.

Quantum theory fails to explain how the reality we experience emerges from the world of particles. A new take on quantum ...

A radical new theory begins with a central claim: consciousness is the fundamental field of reality; time, space, and matter ...

For decades, physicists have faced one of science’s greatest puzzles: merging quantum mechanics, which describes tiny particles, with general relativity, which explains the universe’s vast structures.

For close to a century, scientists have been trying to marry Albert Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity and quantum ...

The universe is a strange, beautiful place—rich with possibilities and governed by the odd rules of quantum mechanics. One of the most mind-bending ideas from this realm is the many-worlds ...

A RECENT GROUNDBREAKING EXPERIMENT in which anesthesia was administered to rats has convinced scientists that tiny structures in the rodents’ brains are responsible for the experience of consciousness ...

In 2022 three scientists won the Nobel Prize in Physics for proving something astonishing: the universe is not locally real. In other words, particles don’t have fixed properties until they are ...

On one side lies quantum theory, which portrays subatomic particles as probabilistic waves. On the other lies general relativity, Einstein’s theory that space and time can bend, causing gravity. For ...
