This particle’s wobble could help spot cracks in the laws of physics

One way physicists seek clues to unravel the mysteries of the universe is by smashing matter together and inspecting the debris. But these types of destructive experiments, while incredibly informative, have limits. We are two scientists who study nuclear and particle physics using CERN’s Large Hadron Collider near Geneva, Switzerland. Working with an international group of nuclear and particle…

What separates classical and quantum chaos?

Posted on By admin
What separates classical and quantum chaos?

Consider weather forecasting. The earth’s atmosphere is a laboratory of randomness, whose conditions change frequently in terms of its pressure, density, the flow-rates of various gases, and temperature. As a result, the paths of gas molecules become increasingly unpredictable. This is why a weather phenomenon that has been predicted to last for a longer period…
