There is a glaring gap in our knowledge of the physical world: none of our well-established theories describe gravity’s quantum nature. Yet physicists expect that this quantum nature is essential for ...

Physicists have long suspected that gravity might have a hidden quantum side, but for decades the idea has been more mathematics than measurement. A new proposal for a tabletop experiment now suggests ...

Killing horizon: a thought experiment suggests that the presence of a black hole can decohere a quantum superposition. (Courtesy: Shutterstock/Rost9) A new thought experiment suggests that the mere ...

Let’s talk about quantum gravity experiments that can be done here on Earth! If we discover how to connect quantum mechanics with general relativity we’ll pretty much win physics. There are multiple ...

Quantum mechanics, when examined closely, poses some deep questions about reality. These questions often take the form of thought experiments, which are later (usually much later) followed up by real ...

Some researchers believe consciousness is a byproduct of the constantly firing web of neurons in our heads. However, others believe something more theoretical must be involved to explain our complex ...

In a stunning breakthrough that challenges long-held assumptions in quantum physics, a team of researchers from the University of Innsbruck has managed to create a Schrödinger’s cat state at ...

In 1935, quantum physicist Erwin Schrödinger suggested a controversial thought experiment to highlight the paradoxical nature of time in quantum mechanics. 1 In the experiment, he supposed that ...
