Quantum Gravity

By: Khue Vu, Journalist
Quantum gravity is one of the biggest unsolved problems in modern physics. It seeks to unify two of the most successful theories in science: quantum mechanics, which governs the world of particles and forces, and general relativity, which describes the structure of spacetime and gravity. Despite their individual successes, these two theories are fundamentally incompatible at extreme scale, such as inside black holes or at the moment of the Big Bang.

The Double-Slit Experiment

By: Khue Vu, Journalist
The double-slit experiment reveals the strange and counter-intuitive nature of quantum mechanics, challenging our understanding of reality. The experiment was originally conducted by Thomas Young in the early 19th century to demonstrate the nature of light, the experiment has since become a cornerstone in quantum physics, showing that particles such as electrons and photons exhibit both wave-like and particle-like properties, depending on how they are observed.

Quantum Field Theory

By: Khue Vu, Journalist
Quantum Field Theory (QFT) is a cornerstone of modern physics, providing a framework to understand the universe at its most fundamental level. It merges quantum mechanics, which explains the behaviors of extremely small particles, with special relativity, which explains the behaviors of objects moving at high speeds. QFT not only describes how particles interact with each other but also reveals that the universe is filled with dynamic fields that give rise to the particles we observe.

Quantum Entanglement

By: Khue Vu, Journalist
Quantum entanglement describes a special connection between two or more particles where the state of one particle is directly connected to the others, no matter how far apart they are. This idea was first thought of in the 1930s by Albert Einstein, Boris Podolsky, and Nathan Rosen.

Virtual Reality As A New Form Of Existence

By: Khue Vu, Journalist
The concept of bringing the virtual realm to the physical world using AR or Augmented Reality is fascinating and intriguing, and many big corporations have come up with technologies that can achieve this. But what if we bring ourselves into the virtual realm? As VR technologies evolve, they may soon allow people to live, work, socialize, and even "exist" entirely within the virtual realms.
