This morning on BBC Radio 4, the mathematician Roger Penrose, physicist Basil Hiley, and philosopher Simon Saunders had a lively discussion about the “measurement problem in physics” with broadcaster ...

New measurements of a subatomic particle provide the strongest hint yet that the leading theory of quantum physics that explains our universe may be missing a fundamental element, scientists say. The ...

The 50-foot-wide racetrack used to study muons traveled by barge around Florida and up the Mississippi, and then by truck across Illinois. Reidar Hahn, Fermilab About 50 years ago, physicists came up ...

Recently in my physics lab, students were having trouble with the difference between mass and weight. I had ready answers---it’s a topic I’ve gone over hundreds of times. But after I explained that ...
