Faster-than-light, or superluminal, travel to other star systems using technology such as "warp speed" has long been the realm of science fiction. But a new study shows that this kind [...]

Manshen Lo “QUANTUM supremacy” is a phrase that has been in the news a lot lately. Several labs worldwide have already claimed to have reached this milestone, at which computers exploiting the wondrous features of the quantum world solve a problem faster than a conventional classical computer feasibly could. Although we aren’t quite there yet, a general-purpose “universal” quantum computer seems closer than ever – a revolutionary development for how we communicate and encrypt data, ...

Why Postmodernism Is Incompatible with a Politics of Liberty Postmodernism lends itself to totalitarianism Once beliefs arent constrained by the object world, an idea cant be wrong, and the intellectual battleground becomes a political one, a struggle to impose certain ideas on all Image Credit: Email The proposition debated was “Postmodern philosophy is compatible with a politics of individual liberty.” Thaddeus defended the proposition and I opposed it. Here, I want to flesh out some of t...

Download 35.22 MB Italian theoretical physicist, writer, and intellectual free spirit Carlo Rovelli is one of the world’s most adventurous minds in science. Foreign Policy magazine recently named him in their list of "100 most influential global thinkers". Hes celebrated for his best-selling books Seven Brief Lessons in Physics, The Order of Time, Reality is Not What it Seems, amongst others. Carlo joins Natasha in conversation to consider...well...lots of things! GUESTS:

After launching the satellites, the Falcon 9 rocket successfully returned to land on solid ground near the launch site rather than at sea. The satellites will become part of a six-satellite constellation that will work in tandem with an Italian constellation known as COSMO-SkyMed...

The smallest-scale measurements of gravity ever made show that a tiny gold ball weighing 90 milligrams can move another gold ball just a few nanometres through gravitational pull

To date, even recent research about superluminal (faster-than-light) transport based on Einsteins theory of general relativity would require vast amounts of hypothetical particle...
