Parallel Worlds Probably Exist. Here’s Why
Quantum mechanics can be made fully deterministic by treating the wave function as the complete description of reality and replacing “wavefunction...
The Many Worlds of the Quantum Multiverse
Quantum mechanics’ “weirdness” hinges on superposition: subatomic systems behave like probability clouds of multiple possible properties at once,...
Is The Wave Function The Building Block of Reality?
Quantum mechanics allows particles to exist in superpositions—fuzzy bundles of possible properties that only become definite when measured. The...
Does the Universe Create Itself?
Quantum mechanics forces a choice between two uncomfortable pictures of reality: either the world is fully “out there” independent of observation, or...
Does Gravity Require Extra Dimensions?
Gravity’s long-standing weakness compared with other fundamental forces may be a clue that space has more than three spatial dimensions—but those...
Is Time Travel Impossible?
Time travel isn’t ruled out by the core equations of relativity, but every workable route runs into a wall—either it requires exotic, likely...
What If Space is NOT Empty?
Spacetime may not be smooth or empty at the tiniest scales; it could be “foamy,” with rapidly fluctuating geometry that briefly forms black holes and...
How to Communicate Across the Quantum Multiverse
Quantum mechanics may be testable—and potentially usable for “telephone”-style communication across quantum branches—if the Schrödinger equation is...
Does Quantum Immortality Save Schrödinger's Cat?
Quantum decoherence alone doesn’t settle why measurements yield one definite outcome. Decoherence mainly prevents different “branches” of the...
