Is The Wave Function The Building Block of Reality?

PBS Space Time · 3 min read

Quantum mechanics allows particles to exist in superpositions—fuzzy bundles of possible properties that only become definite when measured. The...

What If Space is NOT Empty?

PBS Space Time · 3 min read

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...
