Video Article: The Patchwork Multiverse
Classic article with new video content: Cutting spacetime into patches could help explain the size of the universe, time—and provide the first ”experimental” evidence that string theory is on the right track.
The Cosmic Family Tree
Mapping the ancestral history of spacetime in an effort to unite quantum mechanics and general relativity.
Behind the Shadows
Imagining Schrödinger’s cat peering out from behind a black hole could lead to a theory of quantum gravity.
Why Did Nature Choose Quantum Theory?
Schrödinger’s cat may help reveal while some physical theories are better at describing reality than others.
Video Article: Through a Glass Darkly
Eight-dimensional numbers could be needed to handle string-theory’s 10-dimensional physics. This classic article, with new video content, also tackles the mystery of why elementary particles come in families of three—and maybe even how spacetime emerges in 4-dimensions.

I think all the quantum puzzles can be easily understood by examining some certain shared a priori-assumptions that make it possible for ourselves to comprehend nature.
But before i come to my point, i must explain first what i mean with my first sentence here. This first sentence would be somewhat circular if one ignores a crucial fact about the very nature of quantum physics. It would be circular because starting that some of our a priori-assumptions in understanding nature could...

Talk of 3 dimensional objects able to contain themselves. The Klein bottle was given as an example of an object that partially contains itself, but not completely. How about the child's water snake toy? This is a hollow water filled soft rubber tube like object.With a single wall that forms both outside and inside. When squeezed the inside rubber is squeezed out and becomes the outside and the outside is pulled in to become the inside rubber.when squeezed in this way it can be difficult to hold...

ove+Quantum+Exchange+Physical+Law.pdf a proof of the physical law W=n/e is given. This physical law proves that the quantum physical state-space and mathematical state-space from which it emerges are completely independent. In general, the collision probability of a mathematical state-space with n equiprobable states is (1-1/n)^n=1/e. Because this physical law proves that W/n
