These universal truths form the shared foundation upon which a great deal of rigorous and robust merit-based inquiry is ...

Physicists discovered that the famous ‘Star Trek’ spaceship got a lot right about designing a ship to jump from galaxy to ...

Somewhere at the edge of mathematics lurks a number so large that it breaks the very foundations of our understanding - and ...

The simulation hypothesis—the idea that our universe might be an artificial construct running on some advanced alien computer—has long captured the public imagination. Yet most arguments about it rest ...

National Mathematics Day honors Srinivasa Ramanujan, a self-taught genius born in 1887. His groundbreaking work on series and partitions, despite lacking formal proofs, captivated mathematicians like ...

Elevate mathematics as reasoning tool and thinking skill, not just rote formulas. Reform curriculum to focus on fundamentals, reduce overload, and provide choice and flexibility. Link mathematics ...

PROPERLY speaking, “The Virgin and the Gip-sy,” the posthumous book by D. H. Lawrence, is not a full-structure novel. It is a sketch, complete in form arid plot, but wanting in detail and substance; ...

The surface of Earth is finite. We can measure it. If it was expanding, then its size would grow with time. And once again, good ol' Earth helps us understand what the universe might be doing beyond ...

Tinkering at their desks with the mathematics of quantum space and time, physicists have discovered a puzzling conundrum. The arcane rules of quantum theory and gravity let them imagine many different ...

137 (10001001)... that's all we need to tell them. Well, specifically, 1/137. That should tell them a lot about us and our knowledge. Edit: But it would tell them exactly nothing about the worldview ...

New research from UBC Okanagan mathematically demonstrates that the universe cannot be simulated. Using Gödel’s incompleteness theorem, scientists found that reality requires “non-algorithmic ...

Researchers have mathematically proven that the universe cannot be a computer simulation. Reality, they argue, is rooted in a “non-algorithmic understanding” that no algorithm could ever replicate.
