Heisenberg's uncertainty principle tells us that it is impossible to simultaneously measure the position and momentum of a particle with infinite precision. In our everyday lives we virtually never ...
In 1927, Werner Heisenberg was in Denmark working at Niels Bohr's research institute in Copenhagen. The two scientists worked closely on theoretical investigations into quantum theory and the ...
Erwin Schrödinger came up with the theory of wave mechanics about a year later. Those uncomfortable with Heisenberg's system jumped on the wave mechanics side. The conflict between the theories ...
The Heisenberg uncertainty principle says that we cannot know both the position and the momentum of a particle at once Imagine driving a car fitted with a GPS navigation system that glitches ...
The smallest unit of information in a computer is the bit: on or off, 1 or 0. Today, the world's entire computing power is built on the combination and interconnection of countless ones and zeros.
The infinite possibility in a moment is familiar to anyone who enjoys torturing themselves over where life went awry. You know, anyone with regrets cycling forever in their mind. But what if those ...
William Egginton’s The Rigor of Angels unveils a shared common ground to bind an unlikely trio, despite the centuries, continents and disciplines holding them apart: theoretical physicist Werner ...
