A newly derived “q-desic” equation suggests that quantum effects may subtly alter particle trajectories across the universe.
Physicist Paul Davies looks back at the past century of quantum mechanics—the most disruptive theory in the history of modern science.
On May 7, 1981, influential physicist Richard Feynman gave a keynote speech at Caltech. Feynman opened his talk by politely rejecting the very notion of a keynote speech, instead saying that he had ...
