In a recent paper, SFI Professor David Wolpert, SFI Fractal Faculty member Carlo Rovelli, and physicist Jordan Scharnhorst examine a longstanding, paradoxical thought experiment in statistical physics ...

Wild new theory says gravity comes from entropy, could finally unify physics
Gravity is supposed to be the most familiar force in nature, yet at the deepest level it remains the least understood. A bold ...
Scientists have shown, through probabilistic calculations, that there is indeed, as had been hypothesized, a rule of 'entropy' for the phenomenon of quantum entanglement. This finding could help drive ...
Entropy, the amount of molecular disorder, is produced in several systems but cannot be measured directly. A new equation sheds new light on how entropy is produced on a very short time scale in laser ...
We experience the flow of time because it’s a natural outcome of the basic laws of physics. But we may need to build a whole ...
We all know that to have life on a world, you need three critical items: water, warmth, and food. Now add to that a factor called “entropy”. It plays a role in determining if a given planet can ...
(Nanowerk Spotlight) Liquid metals have long fascinated materials scientists due to their unique properties that bridge the gap between solid and liquid states of matter. These materials, which remain ...
