Scientists Just Proved A Fundamental Quantum Physics Problem is Unsolvable
Posted by Genevieve Klien in categories: particle physics, quantum physics
Scientists have proven for the very first time that one of the most fundamental problems of particle and quantum physics is mathematically unsolvable.
In short, they show that regardless of how no matter how perfectly we can mathematically describe a material on the microscopic level, we are never going to be able to predict its macroscopic behavior. Never.
The work was published in Nature.

What is String Theory And Why Humanity Absolutely Needs It
Posted by Genevieve Klien in categories: particle physics, quantum physics
String theory is a complex theory that describes our reality with superstrings as the most basic and fundamental piece of all matter Theoretical particle physicist Daniele Amati supposedly said that string theory was 21st century physics that fell by chance into the 20th century.

Albert Einstein, Holograms and Quantum Gravity
Posted by Genevieve Klien in categories: holograms, particle physics, quantum physics
In the latest campaign to reconcile Einstein’s theory of gravity with quantum mechanics, many physicists are studying how a higher dimensional space that includes gravity arises like a hologram from a lower dimensional particle theory.
