  • The Heroic Age

    The Creation of Quantum Mechanics, 1925-1940

    by Robert D. Purrington ...
    Quantum theory is one of the great achievements of twentieth century physics. Born at the very beginning of the century, it attained a definitive form by 1932, yet continued to evolve throughout the century. Its applications remain fully a part of modern life. It should thus come as no surprise that literature on the history of quantum theory is vast, but author Robert D. Purrington approaches the ... Read more

  • The Quantum World

    The disturbing theory at the heart of reality

    by New Scientist ...
    Series series New Scientist Instant Expert
    Forget everything you thought you knew about reality.The world is a seriously bizarre place. Things can exist in two places at once and travel backwards and forwards in time. Waves and particles are one and the same, and objects change their behaviour according to whether they are being watched. This is not some alternative universe but the realm of the very small, where quantum mechanics rules. ... Read more

  • Blinking Universe: Alternate Mathematical Solution

    by Richard Lighthouse ...
    This short technical paper presents an alternate matematical approach for determining the blinking frequency of our universe. The source for this alternate idea comes from an email sent to this author in May 2015. The source author prefers to remain anonymous. Basically, let's think about the fundamental unit of the universe as a classical entity. The energy of such a classical entity, using the ... Read more
