Quantum mechanics is weird. When you think you have reached the bottom of its weirdness, you always discover a new ...

Time really does move faster on Mars, but the breakthrough that confirms it did not come from a spacecraft’s stopwatch.

Time travel has shifted from pure fantasy to a serious, if highly constrained, topic in modern physics. The equations that ...

The crazy part about all of this is that none of this is new. Since the Christopher Rufo r eport with City Journal dropped, it has simply brought things to a new level of scrutiny as we reevaluate our ...

(via TEDEd) In 1980, philosopher John Searle developed a thought experiment in response to AI advancement at the time. His aim was to interrogate whether a programmed computer has cognitive states, ...

This sort of thing, called time dilation, may seem like the province of science fiction or esoteric physics, but this effect has surprising everyday implications. For example, when the first GPS ...

A thought experiment that was at the heart of an argument between famed physicists Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr in 1927 has finally been made real. Its findings elucidate one of the core mysteries ...

I t must be hard to cover philosophy as a journalist. Your subject hardly moves. Not only does it fail to move the world, it barely budges from its study. Thus the movement called Effective Altruism ...

From dilation to timelessness The perspective describes three main categories of temporal distortion. Time dilation, where brief periods feel extended, may result from enhanced sensory processing as ...

It may sound like an Alex Jones fever dream, but there are real academics proposing to deliberately infect people with a tick-borne meat allergy to mitigate the effects of climate change. It sounds ...

Oftentimes, we think of space as an endless, mostly empty vacuum, a silent backdrop where planets, stars, and galaxies play out their dance. We also think of time as something separate, a steady ...

Did you know that moving a clock one inch toward the ground would result in a slower tick compared to the same clock positioned higher up? Gravity doesn't just pull things; it also bends time.
