What if your conscious experiences were not just the chatter of neurons, but were connected to the hum of the universe? In a ...

A radical new theory begins with a central claim: consciousness is the fundamental field of reality; time, space, and matter develop from it.

The fundamental nature of living things challenges assumptions that physicists have held for centuries.

For more than a century, gravity and quantum physics have stubbornly resisted a common language, one describing the smooth ...

An international research team has sparked interest in the scientific community with results in quantum physics. In their current study, the researchers reinterpret the Higgs mechanism, which gives ...

Quantum field theory marries the ideas of other quantum theories to depict all particles as “excitations” that arise in underlying fields. The British physicist Paul Dirac started the ball rolling in ...

Mean-field theory and semiclassical methods constitute vital frameworks in contemporary quantum mechanics. By replacing the intricate web of particle interactions with an average or “mean” field, mean ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. The Universe is out there, waiting for you to discover it. If you wanted to answer the question of what's truly fundamental in ...

Even in an incomplete state, quantum field theory is the most successful physical theory ever discovered. Nathan Seiberg, one of its leading architects, talks about the gaps in QFT and how ...
