Three thought experiments involving “demons” have haunted physics for centuries. What should we make of them today?

The dominant view in physics is simple: the laws of nature are fixed. Gravity pulls as it always has; quantum probabilities collapse with the same stubborn indifference today as billions of years ago.

A tool called AI-Newton can derive scientific laws from raw data, but is some way from developing human-like reasoning. Most artificial-intelligence (AI) models can reliably identify patterns in data ...

Scientific “laws” change as discoveries evolve, and while some rules like momentum seem unbreakable, others have been overturned. Trump foe Boasberg hit with articles of impeachment UPS plane crashes ...

Simulating physics is central to robotics: before a robot ever moves in the real world, much of its learning, testing, and control happens in a virtual environment. But traditional simulators often ...

Archaeologists in the U.K. have uncovered a miscellany of everyday objects from the site of a house that was built for the mother of Isaac Newton in the 1650s. The house, which was demolished 200 ...

"It may take decades before we find out what really happens in black holes." Reports of the singularity's demise may have been premature. Earlier this year, new research suggested a potential solution ...

When Isaac Newton wrote down his now-famed laws of motion in 1687, he could have only hoped we'd be discussing them all these centuries later. Writing in Latin, Newton outlined three universal ...
