Physicists know about the huge chasm between quantum physics and the theory of gravity. However, in recent decades, theoretical physics has provided some plausible conjecture to bridge this gap and to ...

Pick a pen up off of your desk, hold it about a foot above the flat surface, and then let it drop. It hits the surface, and despite the fact that quantum mechanics suggest that there is a (very) small ...

An international team of researchers has developed a new theoretical framework that bridges physics and biology to provide a unified approach for understanding how complexity and evolution emerge in ...

A concept developed for computer science could have a key role in fundamental physics — and point the way to a new understanding of space and time. When physicist Leonard Susskind gives talks these ...

Complexity and criticality. The laws of physics are simple, but nature is complex ; Storytelling versus science ; What can a theory of complexity explain? ; Power laws and criticality ; Systems in ...

What is complexity? Is it increasing? / Charles H. Lineweaver, Paul C.W. Davies, and Michael Ruse -- Directionality principles from cancer to cosmology / Paul C.W. Davies -- A simple treatment of ...

Part of “Complexity Theory,” a new column on the tangled questions of our technological age. By some accounts, the western world is experiencing a backlash against the same technologies which have ...
