A theoretical proposal published in the journal Reports on Progress in Physics is making some bold claims about our previous understanding of quantum physics. Mainly, that we were wrong. The proposed theory grapples with the fact that quantum mechanics (basically modern physics) and general relativity (Einstein's theory of gravity) both describe the universe perfectly, but are mathematically incompatible with each other. To make them work, the proposal suggests scrapping almost everything we t

A Python implementation of David Deutsch’s Constructor Theory framework, exposing key concepts—from simple Tasks and branching substrates to quantum-gravity and electromagnetism—entirely in code. Includes a “universal constructor” that can bootstrap itself from a list of Tasks, demonstrating self-replication and the power of Constructor Theory. “A demonstration of how constructor theory could be explored in code, not a high-precision physics engine. For the formal definitions, see David Deutsch

Introduction The SP Theory of Intelligence (SPTI) and its realisation in the SP Computer Model (SPCM), outlined below, are founded on substantial evidence for the importance of information compression (IC) across diverse aspects of intelligence in people and other animals. This area of research was pioneered by Fred Attneave [1, 2], Horace Barlow [3, 4] and Satosi Watanabe [9, 10], and is described fairly fully in [14]. In the rest of this article, references to the SPTI should be understood to

In 1935, the Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger published a rather critical three-part review of what he called the ‘present situation’ in the relatively new theory of quantum mechanics. For the most part, Schrödinger’s review, written in German, is dry and technical, and not the kind of thing that would detain anyone outside the narrow academic world of quantum physics. But in one short paragraph, written with his tongue firmly in his cheek, he gave flight to a fancy that, 90 years later, con

"If a farmer has made a path, he is able to saunter easily up and down it. That is what the path was made for. But the work of making the path was not a process of sauntering easily, but one of marking the ground, digging, fetching loads of gravel, rolling and draining. He dug and rolled where there was yet no path, so that he might in the end have a path on which he could saunter without any more digging or rolling. Similarly a person who has a theory can, among other things, expound to himself

Black holes, the densest objects in the universe, eat up anything that comes too close, even light. Is there anything left inside these behemoths that could reveal what they devoured in the first place? String theory, an attempt to merge gravity with quantum physics, says yes. A new study suggests that within black holes lie tangled pathways of strings called supermazes, which hold that information in multiple dimensions. What Are Black Hole Supermazes? Supermazes come from M-theory, an umbrel

[Physics FAQ] - [Copyright] By Philip Gibbs, 1997, 2004. Why is c the symbol for the speed of light? "As for c, that is the speed of light in vacuum, and if you ask why c, the answer is that it is the initial letter of celeritas, the Latin word meaning speed." Isaac Asimov in "C for Celeritas (1959)" [1] A Short Answer Weber apparently meant c to stand for "constant" in his force law, but there is evidence that physicists such as Lorentz and Einstein were accustomed to a common co
