The quantum world, being different from our world, is guided by unique principles of probability. Researchers have proposed various theories to simplify quantum mechanics, but the concept gets stranger and complicated with every new theory. […]
Although we still haven’t created simulated worlds, we can still predict how likely it is that we’ll do it in the future. We know if we do, then there’s a good chance we are in a simulation. […]
Studies in probability and Quantum Theory indicates that the universe is more complex and chaotic than was imagined. […]
While it’s nice to think that our challenge in life is to get rid of uncertainty and be in complete control of everything, that is not going to happen. One of life’s real challenges is to deal with the uncertain and the unknown in some sort of an effective way; and that is the realm of probability. […]
The traditional quantum mechanics found its more modernized version in the second quantum revolution. While it introduced newer concepts like virtual photons, it did heavily rely on the traditional Heisenberg principle of uncertainty. […]
At a scientific conference, it was discussed that the magnetic moment of the electron could be measured with much accuracy and precision. The later findings about the anomalous magnetic moment further served to prove the presence of virtual particles around subatomic particles. […]
Many ideas like axions and sterile neutrinos were proposed, and many experiments like DAMA and LUX have been designed to understand dark matter. Yet, scientists still don’t know what exactly dark matter is. […]
When it comes to understanding the relationship between an active galaxy and a black hole, it is one of cause and effect. There is a negative feedback between the black hole and the surrounding galaxy as when the galaxy grows too fast, the black hole produces out-flows that halt any further growth. […]
The Heisenberg uncertainty principle states that energy and time experience a similar relationship. It assumes significance while calculating a particle’s lifetime. […]
If it hadn’t been for Carl Anderson and his discovery of positron, we would have probably never known about hundreds of particles to be discovered later. […]
