Time may be an illusion derived from quantum entanglement
Time has always seemed like the one thing physics could count on. Matter changes, stars die, particles flicker…
David Gross, Nobel Prize winner in physics: Humanity has a “very small” chance of surviving another 50 years
Some lines make you pause. Others demand a second reading. David Gross’s words belong firmly in that latter…
Wormholes may enable time travel, astrophysicists find
A ring in space, at least on paper, can do something a black hole cannot. It can connect…

We tend to think quantum tunnelling is a subatomic curiosity, but in 1984 and 1985 physicists at UC Berkeley showed that a superconducting electrical circuit big enough to hold in your hand could tunnel from one state to another — a discovery that won the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics.
Quantum tunnelling is usually introduced through the smallest things physics can describe: an alpha particle escaping a nucleus,…
