The famous double slit experiment that sparked a branche of physics coined quantum mechanics. Instead of treating quantum particles as shape-shifters, we should think in terms of probability distributions Source: A common misunderstanding about wave-particle duality A fabulous clarification pertaining to the puzzling phenomenon known as wave-particle duality, which Philip Ball reveals as only arising …

Thomas Hertog tells us how he collaborated with Stephen Hawking on his final theorem — a Darwinian revolution in physics that explains the origin of time. Story by Ben Turner published in livescience, June 11 2024 Source: 'Physics itself disappears': How theoretical physicist Thomas Hertog helped Stephen Hawking produce his final, most radical theory of …
Source: The surprising origins of wave-particle duality Who would've thought? I hadn't been aware that the discovery of the wave-particle duality of photons, electrons and even larger structures of particles originated in the 17th century from the work of Christiaan Huygens. So the non-deterministic nature of our cosmos and reality are "set in stone" based …

Source: Unifying gravity and quantum mechanics without the need for quantum gravity – Physics World Stochastic framework In his study, Oppenheim builds on this idea to develop a new stochastic framework for coupling the quantum and classical-gravity worlds. Since these worlds have fundamentally different rules, Oppenheim’s theory uses separate statistical theories for each of them. …

Source: Monist philosophy and quantum physics agree that all is One | Aeon Essays This is a bit of a longer essay on the history and main tenets of Monism in philosophy and how very up-to-date science,i.e. quantum mechanics in this case and the implications observed and interpreted accordingly, and ancient philosophical traditions all seem …

"I used to think that today's so-called "artificial intelligences" are actually pretty dumb. But I've recently changed my mind" explains Sabine Hossenfelder in probing the question how much real understanding we can infer from language generating AI technology like e.g. chatGPT
Theoretical Physics professor with Technical University Dortmund, Germany, Heinrich Päs, suggests a solution to the conundrum modern science keeps running into since the advent and discovery of quantum mechanics.
A Trip to Infinity, awesome visualization from a chapter in it demonstrating the possibility of the universe playing out each number of infinite possibilities, here with the example of an apple in a tightly sealed box (closed system). Spoiler: That box... could be our universe. 😮
“Not only has none of us ever experienced more than one consciousness, but there is also no trace of circumstantial evidence of this ever happening anywhere in the world.” (attributed to Erwin Schrödinger)
