A new theoretical paper has tackled the phenomenon of quantum decoherence, the process by which objects slip out of the quantum world and start behaving classically. The paper approaches this in a new ...

Time travel has shifted from pure fantasy to a serious, if highly constrained, topic in modern physics. The equations that ...

Physicists from JILA — a CU Boulder and National Institute of Standards and Technology institute — were able to measure an effect called time dilation at the smallest scale ever, which they say could ...

If dark energy continues its dominance in the Universe, every galaxy beyond our neighborhood will one day no longer be visible (via NASA) Dark energy is an unknown form of energy that is proposed to ...

Well connected: an optical clock at PTB was used in the comparison. (Courtesy: PTB) Atomic clocks in France, Germany and the UK have been used to perform the best-ever confirmation of time dilation as ...

Einstein's theory of relativity has all sorts of weird results that make it difficult to wrap your head around, but one of the weirdest is time dilation. Basically, according to relativity, if you ...

Time runs faster on Mars (477 microseconds/day) due to relativity. Discover how this fundamental physics challenge requires dynamic correction to prevent massive GPS errors and secure future deep ...

GPS satellites experience time differently than we do on Earth. Without compensating for this strange effect predicted by ...

From what we know about No Man’s Sky, aging won’t be a source of in-game anxiety. Although characters can definitely die and the universe is big enough to explore into one’s dotage, the archbishop won ...
