Using Quantum Physics, Researcher Have Succeeded to “Reverse Time” With Astonishing Precision

Using Quantum Physics, Researcher Have Succeeded to “Reverse Time” With Astonishing Precision

Researchers from the Austrian Academy of Sciences and the University of Vienna have demonstrated a precise method for reversing time in a quantum system, achieving an average fidelity of more than 95%. The study, published in Optica, shows that it is possible to make a quantum particle return to a previous state without knowing anything about its internal dynamics—a feat …

Astrophysicist Says “We’re Trapped in a Black Hole” as James Webb Unleashes Panic Over Mind-Bending Discovery That Shakes All Known Physics

Astrophysicist Says “We’re Trapped in a Black Hole” as James Webb Unleashes Panic Over Mind-Bending Discovery That Shakes All Known Physics

IN A NUTSHELL 🔭 Researchers using the James Webb Space Telescope found a non-random rotational pattern in 263 ancient galaxies. 🌀 About 60% of these galaxies rotate clockwise, challenging previous beliefs about cosmic randomness. 🌌 The discovery has led to a hypothesis that the universe might be within a massive black hole, prompting a reevaluation of cosmic principles. 🔍 Alternative …

NASA’s Spirit Rover May Have Been The Victim Of A Physics Error, Study Suggests

NASA’s Spirit Rover May Have Been The Victim Of A Physics Error, Study Suggests

Landing on another body in the Solar System is a tough business. Despite many successful touchdowns throughout history, spacecraft sent to land on the lunar surface still regularly fail in the final moments. Meanwhile on Mars, the Spirit rover sent by NASA became stuck in the planet’s soft sand after its wheels broke through a crust. A new study suggests …
