Quanta

[:es]Physicists have devised a holographic model of “de Sitter space,” the term for a universe like ours, that could give us new clues about the origin of space and time.[:]

[:es]The Born rule, which connects the math of quantum theory to the outcomes of experiments, has been derived from simpler physical principles. The new work promises to give researchers a […]

[:es]The brain can’t directly encode the passage of time, but recent work hints at a workaround for putting timestamps on memories of events.[:]

[:es]With the help of deep learning techniques, paleoanthropologists find evidence of long-lost branches on the human family tree[:]

[:es]Neural networks can be as unpredictable as they are powerful. Now mathematicians are beginning to reveal how a neural network’s form will influence its function. [:]

[:es]Perfect black holes are versatile mathematical tools. Just don’t mistake them for the real thing.[:]

[:es]An analysis of lunar craters has found that we’ve been living in a relatively violent period in cosmic history.[:]

[:es]Astronomers couldn’t find enough satellite galaxies orbiting the Milky Way. Now they have the opposite problem, suggesting that our understanding of how galaxies get built is incomplete.[:]

[:es]Dark matter may occasionally interact with minerals in the earth, leaving telltale tracks that physicists hope to decipher.[:]
