Why Even Physicists Still Don’t Understand Quantum Theory 100 Years On

Wiktor Mazin. Credit: Wiktor Mazin, Quantum Fractal Artist Everyone has their favourite example of a trick that reliably gets a certain job done, even if they don’t really understand why. Back in the day, it might have been slapping the top of your television set when the picture went fuzzy. Today, it might be turning your computer off and on again. Quantum mechanics the most successful and important theory in modern physics is like that. It works wonderfully, explaining things from lasers […]

Experts closing in on potentially identifying new force after surprise wobble of subatomic particle
The tantalising theory that a fifth force of nature could exist has been given a boost thanks to unexpected wobbling by a subatomic particle, physicists have revealed.

Inside the Proton, the ‘Most Complicated Thing’ Imaginable

The positively charged particle at the heart of the atom is an object of unspeakable complexity, one that changes its appearance depending on how it is probed. We’ve attempted to connect the proton’s many faces to form the most complete picture yet.

*Quantum Entanglement*

Reality unfolds
And baffles once again

Entangled paraleles
Stump primitive brains

Particles split apart
Refuse to separate

Radiated lights
Galaxies out of range

Amidst black holes, bright stars
A lingering kin awaits

Have you heard of #QuantumEntanglement ✨it completely blows my mind…

Jesse Emspak from Space.com explains: “Quantum entanglement is a bizarre, counterintuitive phenomenon that explains how two subatomic particles can be intimately linked to each other even if separated by billions of light-years of space. Despite their vast separation, a change induced in one will affect the other.”
