Nuclear Clocks Are Now Real — Here Is What That Means
Two independent teams built working nuclear clocks in 2026. Here's what the thorium-229 breakthrough actually achieved — and what it hasn't yet.
Einstein vs Quantum Mechanics: The EPR Paradox Explained
Einstein vs Quantum Mechanics: The EPR Paradox Explained
Physicist Jim Al-Khalili unpacks the EPR paradox—Einstein's 1935 challenge to quantum mechanics that inadvertently gave us the concept of entanglement.
Can Quantum Physics Really Send Messages to the Past?
Can Quantum Physics Really Send Messages to the Past?
An MIT group published a paper in Physical Review Letters claiming messages can be sent to the past. The math works. The interpretation is where things get complicated.
