A new theory suggests that gravity could possibly be the result of entropy. If true, this would mean that everything in the ...

Can quantum systems become more disordered, as thermodynamics would predict? Yes, they can - if a proper definition of "entropy" is used. It is one of the most important laws of nature that we know: ...

It is one of the most important laws of nature that we know: The famous second law of thermodynamics says that the world gets more and more disordered when random chance is at play. Or, to put it more ...

By Partha Sinha Entropy fascinates because it announces itself. It spreads, decays and disperses. It makes noise. Like Kali, it is dramatic, uncompromising and impossible to ignore. Earlier, i wrote ...

Forgetting feels like a failure of attention, but physics treats it as a fundamental process with a measurable price. At the smallest scales, erasing information is not free, it consumes energy and ...

A University of Portsmouth physicist has explored whether a new law of physics could support the much-debated theory that we are simply characters in an advanced virtual world. The simulated universe ...
