Why Information, Not Matter, May Be the True Foundation of Reality - Rethinking Reality Through Physics, Information, ...

Quasicrystals are orderly structures that never repeat. Scientists just showed they can exist in space and time.

This breathtaking clue about the architecture of consciousness supports a Nobel-Prize winner’s theory about how quantum physics works in your brain.

A new theory suggests the universe’s greatest secrets are hiding in a “zeptouniverse” that’s ready to be explored—without ...

If true, the idea would blow past one of physics’ most sacred limits: that parallel versions of reality can never talk to ...

“For the last 20 years, people believed that the cosmological constant is positive, and the universe will expand forever,” says Tye, a professor emeritus at Cornell. A positive constant acts like a ...

The particles that are in an atom: protons, neutrons and electrons The particles that are in protons and neutrons: quarks The four fundamental forces: gravity, electromagnetism, the strong force and ...

The shape of the cosmos depends on a balance of two competing forces: the pull of gravity and the expansion driven by dark ...

A physicist proposes that the universe is not empty space, but is a viscous fluid, fueling the expansion and contraction we see.

Physicists have been puzzling over conflicting observational results pertaining to the accelerating expansion rate of our Universe—a major discovery recognized by the 2011 Nobel Prize in Physics. New ...

New data from major dark-energy observatories suggest the universe may not expand forever after all. A Cornell physicist calculates that the cosmos is heading toward a dramatic reversal: after ...

Across physics, biology and philosophy, a once-fringe idea is gaining new intellectual weight: the possibility that the cosmos behaves less like a dead machine and more like a living system. Instead ...
