A new theory suggests that gravity could possibly be the result of entropy. If true, this would mean that everything in the universe would fall apart if it all remained unchanged. This theory tries to ...

The transcorrelated (TC) method performs a similarity transformation on the electronic Schrödinger equation via Jastrow factorization of the wave function. This has demonstrated significant ...

Summary: A new theoretical framework argues that the long-standing split between computational functionalism and biological naturalism misses how real brains actually compute. The authors propose ...

In conventional computing, we can draw a clean line between software and hardware. In brains, there is no such separation of different scales. In the brain, everything influences everything else, from ...

A TikTok theory connecting Stranger Things to The Wizard of Oz has sparked a flurry of speculation and commentary among viewers online, with fans drawing fresh parallels between the two worlds of ...

Abstract: The problem of substructure characteristic modes is developed using a scattering matrix-based formulation, generalizing subregion characteristic mode decomposition to arbitrary computational ...

110 years ago today, Albert Einstein published his General Theory of Relativity, which redefined the relationship between matter and gravity. Suddenly, our mysterious universe made a little more sense ...

The ball rolls across the floor because it was kicked, just as Earth orbits the sun because it is tugged by gravity. The connection between cause and effect is fundamental to how we understand the ...

The dichotomy between reality and appearance, and the devaluation of appearance, is rooted in pre-Socratic philosophy. Just as Plato leant upon Heraclitus’ flux for his conception of the sensible ...

Marika Taylor currently receives funding from EPSRC, STFC, UK government deparments and the European Horizon programme. In 1980, Stephen Hawking gave his first lecture as Lucasian Professor at the ...

In 1980, Stephen Hawking gave his first lecture as Lucasian Professor at the University of Cambridge. The lecture was called "Is the end in sight for theoretical physics?" Forty-five years later, ...

Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian and OpenAI co-founder Sam Altman have warned on social media in recent weeks of the “Dead Internet Theory,” an idea that the internet is dominated by bot activity ...
