MIT scientists use classical physics tools to explain quantum behavior of particles

The Blueprint

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

New research bridges the worlds of classical and quantum physics

When you throw a ball into the air, the equations of classical physics tell you exactly what path it will take as it falls, and exactly when and where it will land. However, if you squeeze the same ball down to a subatomic size, it will behave in ways that cannot be predicted by classical … Read more

Stephen Hawking’s infamous black hole paradox may be solved if the universe has seven dimensions

The swirl of blue and red light around the dark black hole on the right side of the image rests on a white grid of blocks that shows the structure of space-time.
