Explore Laplace's Demon and the clash between determinism and free will. Can our choices be predicted by physics? * There are probably many notions of what determinism means, but let's distinguish two ...

This post has been sitting in my mind for quite some time. Really, it is about mechanics - not about pendulums. What is the goal in mechanics (classical mechanics, if you like)? Generally, it is to ...

An international team of researchers have reported 1 new results that they say will have deep implications in understanding "non-locality" issues in quantum mechanics. “Quantum and classical worlds ...

One hundred years ago, Niels Bohr developed the Bohr model of the atom, where electrons go around a nucleus at the centre like planets in the Solar System. The model and its implications brought a lot ...
