discusses string theory and the need in physics to reconcile
quantum theory, used for small...
Theoretical physics is full of mind-boggling ideas, but two of
the weirdest are quantum entanglement and wormholes. Juan Maldacena, Carl P. Feinberg
Professor in the School of Natural Sciences, describes how the
weird quantum phenomenon of...
Of all the bizarre facets of quantum theory, few seem stranger
