Counter-Intuitive Quantum Mechanics: State of Vibration That Exists Simultaneously at Two Different Times

Posted by in categories: particle physics, quantum physics

When Light and Atoms Share a Common Vibe

An especially counter-intuitive feature of quantum mechanics is that a single event can exist in a state of superposition — happening both here and there, or both today and tomorrow.

Such superpositions are hard to create, as they are destroyed if any kind of information about the place and time of the event leaks into the surrounding — and even if nobody actually records this information. But when superpositions do occur, they lead to observations that are very different from that of classical physics, questioning down to our very understanding of space and time.

The Universe’s 7 biggest mysteries (and why they’re unsolved)

Posted by in categories: cosmology, particle physics

In the last decade, we’ve taken photos of a black holes, peered into the heart of atoms and looked back at the birth of the Universe. And yet, there are yawning gaps in our understanding of the Universe and the laws that govern it. These are the mysteries that will be troubling physicists and astronomers over the next decade and beyond.


Dark matter, the nature of time, aliens and supermassive black holes: these seven things will be puzzling astronomers for years to come.
