Klein Bottle Experiment Reveals Unexpected Particle Chirality Dynamics
Originally, we wanted to shoot left-handed particles into a Klein bottle and watch them return right-handed. Like a topological ray-gun. What we found was rather more subtle and interesting.
Our Clocks Are Cosmic Cycles: From Day to Galaxy
Humanity is keeping time by keeping track of these celestial cycles. Like the dial of an analog clock, the cycles swing around and around: the daily cycle of the Earth’s spin, the monthly cycle of the Moon, the yearly cycle...
Earth’s 26,000‑year Wobble Swaps North Stars
The Vernal Equinox (equi-night) reminds me of other celestial cycles. The Earth’s spin axis takes about 26,000 years to wobble around like a spinning top, a motion known as the precession of the equinoxes. Right now, Polaris is the north...
Does Quantum Teleportation Duplicate Your Identity?
Are you destroyed by teleportation? If your quantum information over here is copied and posted over there into another set of particles, is it still you? https://t.co/GTCLhiF2rD

Watch Tonight's Quantum AI Revolution Live
Join the livestream of tonight’s event. Losing sleep over AI? Maybe best not to ruminate on Quintelligence— Quantum AI. But if you can’t help yourself, tune in. A quiet revolution in quantum information science is underway with quantum computers and...
Quantum Mechanics: Unmatched Precision, Yet Reality‑Defying
A full century after the discovery of a peculiar microscopic world, quantum mechanics has triumphed as the most precisely verified physical theory in the history of science. Yet the quantum world defies conventional notions of reality. In this episode of...
