New research from UBC Okanagan mathematically demonstrates that the universe cannot be simulated. Using Gödel’s ...

I keep coming back to a strange idea: what if everything we know about quantum physics is already encoded inside a single ...

Recent discoveries in cosmology have left scientists scratching their heads, as they challenge our fundamental understanding ...

Physicist Mir Faizal, Adjunct Professor with UBC Okanagan’s Irving K. Barber Faculty of Science, was not out to shatter the dreams of science fiction enthusiasts when he began to study the limits of ...

If so, laws might change when the universe itself changes phase. In the early universe, as temperatures and densities shifted, forces split apart from a unified origin. What we call “laws” may be like ...

Encouraged by successes in understanding black holes, theoretical physicists are applying what they’ve learned to whole ...

No one knows for sure, but it is not unlikely that the universe is constructed in a completely different way than the usual theories and models of today predict. The most widely used model today ...

What if the bridge between our worlds isn’t language at all, but physics? In a recent episode of SETI Live, theoretical physicist Dr. Daniel Whiteson, co-author of Do Aliens Speak Physics?: And Other ...

Mikhail Ivanov, Oliver Philcox, and Marko Simonović won the New Horizons Award for their work on large scale structures — the strands and filaments of our universe which contain buried clues to its ...

A new theory claims dark matter and dark energy don’t exist — they’re just side effects of the universe’s changing forces. By ...

The particles that are in an atom: protons, neutrons and electrons The particles that are in protons and neutrons: quarks The four fundamental forces: gravity, electromagnetism, the strong force and ...
