Neils Bohr once said “Physics concerns what we can say about Nature." Neils Bohr said, “It is wrong to think that the task of physics is to find out how Nature is. Physics concerns what we can say ...
Quantum experiments keep stripping away our everyday intuitions, replacing them with a picture of reality in which cause, effect and even “facts” depend on how we look. New tests of entanglement, ...
For years, the idea that we might be living inside a vast computer program has drifted from philosophy seminars into ...
Quantum mechanics is one of the most successful theories in science — and makes much of modern life possible. Technologies ranging from computer chips to medical-imaging machines rely on the ...
A joint analysis of the content of experiments in the area of quantum physics and the function of human mind makes it possible to demonstrate that an object-based model of reality formed at the level ...
Consciousness is fundamental; only thereafter do time, space and matter arise. This is the starting point for a new theoretical model of the nature of reality, presented by Maria Strømme, Professor of ...
Physicists have long struggled to explain why the universe started with conditions suitable for life to evolve. Why do the physical laws and constants take the very specific values that allow stars, ...
For millennium, philosophers have been pondering the nature of reality. In the video clip available at the web address, below quantum physicist Anton Zeilinger (professor, University of Vienna) ...
Peter Evans receives funding from the Australian Research Council and the Foundational Questions Institute. The Nobel Prize in physics this year has been awarded “for experiments with entangled ...
This spring, physics professor Marcelo Gleiser is leading PHYS 82.01, “Question Reality!” for the first — and last — time in person. Gleiser said this is his last term teaching at the College.
