The start of World War II threw quantum theory research into disarray. Many of the European physicists left Europe all together, and research moved across the ocean to the shores of the United States.

Quantum mechanics forbids us from measuring the universe. But we try with this principle. Quantum mechanics forbids us from measuring the universe beyond a certain level of precision. But that doesn’t ...

(via PBS Space Time) There is a fundamental limit to the knowability of the universe. The Heisenberg uncertainty principle tells us that the more precisely we try to define one property, the less ...
