Researchers at IPhT (CEA, CNRS) and the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona have shown that gravity—and with it, ...

But the experiments were set up in ways that meant we could only use them to determine that this superposition occurred in ...

The study of quantum gravity seeks a synthesis between quantum mechanics and general relativity, and Causal Dynamical Triangulations (CDT) has emerged as a promising nonperturbative approach. In CDT, ...

For the first time, a team of physicists in Austria has carried out an experiment that appears to verify the principle of ...

Within our comfortable world of causality we expect that reactions always follow an action and not vice versa. This why the recent chatter in the media about researchers having discovered ‘negative ...

(via Sabine Hossenfelder) To us normal people, cause and effect are linked together in a distinct order. The cause occurs first, and the effect follows after. But according to a new paper, that causal ...

Causal Set Theory (CST) offers a compelling approach to reconciling quantum theory and general relativity by postulating that spacetime, at its most fundamental level, is discrete rather than ...

The theoretical physicist John Wheeler once used the phrase “great smoky dragon” to describe a particle of light going from a source to a photon counter. “The mouth of the dragon is sharp, where it ...

As an ordinary reader trying to make sense of the universe before breakfast, I was delighted by your feature on quantum causality. The idea of “causal bubbles” gave me a way to picture the quantum ...
