Gravity is supposed to be the most familiar force in nature, yet at the deepest level it remains the least understood. A bold ...

In a recent paper, SFI Professor David Wolpert, SFI Fractal Faculty member Carlo Rovelli, and physicist Jordan Scharnhorst examine a longstanding, paradoxical thought experiment in statistical physics ...

For decades, physicists have struggled to reconcile the laws governing the very small with those that describe the vast cosmos. Quantum mechanics rules subatomic particles, while general relativity ...

Entropy, the amount of molecular disorder, is produced in several systems but cannot be measured directly. A new equation sheds new light on how entropy is produced on a very short time scale in laser ...

Entropy also increases in initially ordered quantum systems until it reaches a final state of disorder. Entropy and the direction of time Equating 'entropy' with 'disorder' is not entirely correct.

We experience the flow of time because it’s a natural outcome of the basic laws of physics. But we may need to build a whole ...
