• How Far Are We From The Quantum Theory Of Gravity?

  
  Physics and Physicists — Authority: 496
  That is the question that is being asked in this review of the effort to incorporate gravity into quantum mechanics (the full paper is available for free, upon registration, during the first 30 days of online publication)[1]. Abstract: I give a pedagogical explanation of what it is about quantization that makes ...

  Science and Religion in Islam: The Link. — Authority: 128
  "Thermodynamics, the crown jewel of 19th-century physics, concerns systems with many particles. Quantum mechanics , developed in the 20th century, works best when applied to just a few. The UCLA team is using their tiny lamp to study physicist Max Plancks black-body radiation law, which was derived in 1900 using ...

• Scientists create the first programmable quantum processor

  
  Ars Technica — Authority: 738
  Scientists have developed a number of quantum computing systems that use ions or electrons as bits of data; mathematical "operations" can be performed on them with beams of light or electrical pulses. Until recently, however, these systems could only perform the specific tasks they were designed to do. But a group of ...

  Television Zombies: Blog and Podcast — Authority: 128
  Another web site! ABC loves ARGs.  Lost had a whole campaign based on the fictional story behind what happened to flight 815 and the Dharma Initiative.  Now FlashForward follows suit with several alternate reality sites, all of which lead back to the series portal on ABC.  We can now add www.alreadyghosts.com. ...

  Naught Thought — Authority: 405
  Levi has an interesting post about quantum mechanics and Speculative Realism. A whole slew of issues arises surrounding epistemological versus ontological realism particularly in regards to the issue of observation and the uncertainty principle. As the Dailykos post he references makes clear, decoherence does not ...

• Phenomenological Quantum Gravity

  
  Physics and Physicists — Authority: 496
  I dont normally find reading papers on quantum gravity to be "entertaining". However, this is actually is, simply because the authors have to be rather concise due to limited space. Written by Sabine Hossenfelder Lee Smolin of the Perimeter Institute, it actually provides quite an overview of the phenomenological ...

  NeuroLogica Blog — Authority: 594
  Deepak Chopra has made a career out of misunderstanding quantum mechanics (QM) – and through his popularity, confusing the public. Like many others, he has found a superficial way in which to interpret quantum mechanics to make is seem as if it is congruent with Eastern metaphysics. And now he has done it again , ...
