A new study by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has bridged the gap between quantum and classical physics. This study shows that mathematical ideas from classical physics can be used to explain the strange and “spooky” behavior attributed to quantum particles. Despite the development of applications such as quantum computing and sensing, … Read more

Astronomers expected there to be hundreds of planets with two suns, but only 14 were discovered, and Einstein’s theory may explain why.

A schema showing how the orbits of planets change under Einstein's gravity in a two-star system.

Planets orbiting two stars were expected to be everywhere. Instead, astronomers have discovered only a few, according to a new study. Einstein’s general theory of relativity We may be quietly wiping out many of them. For years, this gap has puzzled scientists. The numbers simply didn’t add up, as binary stars are common in galaxies … Read more
