A Universal Quantum Phenomenon in Strange Metals

Posted by in categories: particle physics, quantum physics

A ubiquitous quantum phenomenon has been detected in a large class of superconducting materials, fueling a growing belief among physicists that an unknown organizing principle governs the collective behavior of particles and determines how they spread energy and information.

Scientists Just Proved A Fundamental Quantum Physics Problem is Unsolvable

Posted by 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 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.
