What Is the True Promise of Quantum Computing?
Despite the hype, it’s been surprisingly challenging to find quantum algorithms that outperform classical ones. In this episode, Ewin Tang discusses her pioneering work in “dequantizing” quantum algorithms — and what it means for the future of quantum computi…

“We absolutely must leave room for doubt or there is no progress and no learning ... People search for certainty. But there is no certainty.” – Richard Feynman, "What is and What Should be the Role of Scientific Culture in Modern Society" – lecture given at t…
'Einstein's equations need to be refined': Tweaks to general relativity could finally explain wha...
Black hole singularities should not exist, according to theories of quantum mechanics. New tweaks to Einstein's equations of general relativity could finally do away with them, and explain what truly lies at the heart of a black hole.

“Laws are made for men of ordinary understanding and should, therefore, be construed by the ordinary rules of common sense. Their meaning is not to be sought for in metaphysical subtleties which may make anything mean everything or nothing at pleasure.”—Thoma…

Quote of the Week: “All other aspects and characteristics of science can be understood directly when we understand that observation is the ultimate and final judge of the truth of an idea.” — Richard Feynman, The Meaning of It All: Thoughts of a Citizen-Scien…

Quote of the Week: “No government has the right to decide on the truth of scientific principles, nor to prescribe in any way the character of questions investigated. Neither may a government determine the aesthetic value of artistic creations, nor limit the f…Efficient simulation of plasma physics’ time fractional modified Korteweg-de Vries equations
In many science and engineering fields, integer-order differential equations are unable to provide a satisfactory explanation for a wide range of phenomena when compared to fractional-order differential equations. The fractional modified Korteweg-de Vries (mK…
Why is There Something Instead of Nothing?
Is it really true that entire universes can appear from nothing? This "science" is based upon the real science of quantum mechanics, which has shown that particles can appear from "nothing" and disappear into "nothing." Atheist scientists say that "nothing" i…
