Science, history, and consciousness converge on a disturbing idea, we don’t see all of reality and we may never have been ...

A routine quantum optics technique just revealed an extraordinary secret: entangled light can carry incredibly complex topological structures. Researchers found these hidden patterns reach up to 48 ...

String Theory at the Hunter, in partnership with Lee University and the Hunter Museum of American Art, will present Bloch and Brahms at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, March 10, at the Hunter Museum in Chattanooga ...

Scientists from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) have used mathematical concepts from string theory, a theoretical description of the mechanics of the entire universe, to upend over a century of ...

Biological systems are notoriously tough to model, especially when it comes to figuring out the axons, neurons, blood vessels, and other structural components of gray matter, or the tissue that makes ...

String Theory at the Hunter, in partnership with Lee University and the Hunter Museum of American Art, will present an evening of chamber music featuring the SPA Trio at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 3, ...

For more than a century, scientists have wondered why physical structures like blood vessels, neurons, tree branches, and other biological networks look the way they do. The prevailing theory held ...

In this video, we explore the relationship between string theory and quantum field theory (QFT). QFT is a mathematical framework that describes nearly all particles and forces in the universe but ...

For various, typically historical reasons, even the best physicists claim things that sound egregious to modern observers. That doesn’t necessarily mean these ideas are completely useless—if anything, ...
