Can quantum systems become more disordered, as thermodynamics would predict? Yes, they can - if a proper definition of "entropy" is used. It is one of the most important laws of nature that we know: ...
Gravity is supposed to be the most familiar force in nature, yet at the deepest level it remains the least understood. A bold new line of research now argues that gravity is not fundamental at all, ...
This puzzle is known as the problem of time, and it remains one of the most persistent obstacles to a unified theory of ...
The fundamental laws of physics insist that no patterns can permanently survive nature’s steady course towards disorder – or can they? A new proof offers a peculiar counterexample to the once-settled ...
I have before me a letter from Jeremy Rifkin, author of Entropy: A New World View. His communication states that "entropy helps explain why we have runaway inflation, soaring unemployment, bloated ...
