MIT experiment proves Einstein wrong in century-old quantum debate

MIT experiment proves Einstein wrong in century-old quantum debate

In a stunning new demonstration of quantum mechanics, a team of MIT physicists has settled a nearly century-old debate between Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr, with the results showing Einstein was wrong. The team performed an idealized version of the famous double-slit experiment, confirming that light has a dual identity as both a particle and a wave, but that these …

MIT confirms Einstein was wrong in century-old light experiment

Scientists have long grappled with a fundamental question: what exactly is light? Is it a wave, flowing like ripples across water, or is it made up of tiny particles, like miniature paintballs zipping through space? This fundamental question was at the heart of the double-slit experiment, demonstrating light’s dual nature. Just recently, physicists at MIT conducted an experiment using incredible …

Why rivers split: A century-old mystery has finally been solved

Why rivers split: A century-old mystery has finally been solved

Rivers shape life on Earth. They deliver water, sediment, and nutrients from mountains to oceans, cutting paths that feed ecosystems and human communities alike. For over a century, scientists have tried to understand why some rivers form a single, meandering channel, while other rivers split into multiple, crisscrossing streams. New research finally offers an answer. What causes a river to …
