      To Understand Your Past, Look to Your Future: An alternative to the Newtonian worldview promises to help explain quantum weirdness.

      May 19, 2016

      You’re thinking about time all wrong, according to our best physical theories. In Einstein’s general theory of relativity, there’s no conceptual distinction between the past and the future, let alone an objective line of “now.” There’s also no sense

      Light Could Solve One Of Quantum Computing’s Big Problems

      May 8, 2018

      Researchers have demonstrated how infrared laser pulses can shift electrons between two different states, the classic 1 and 0, in a thin sheet of semiconductor. The technique could help to solve a major issue with quantum computing. “Ordinary electro

      Whenever you say anything about your daily life, a scale is implied. Try it out. “I’m too busy” only works for an assumed time scale: today, for example, or this week. Not this century or this nanosecond. “Taxes are onerous” only makes sense for a ce
