This morning on BBC Radio 4, the mathematician Roger Penrose, physicist Basil Hiley, and philosopher Simon Saunders had a lively discussion about the “measurement problem in physics” with broadcaster ...

During the mid- to late-twentieth century, quantum physicists picked apart the unified theory of physics that Einstein’s theory of relativity offered. The physics of the large was governed by gravity, ...

(via PBS Space Time) The mystery of what happens when we go from a superposition to a definite state is known as the Measurement Problem, and it’s arguably the most mysterious outstanding problem in ...

Uncertainty affects the accuracy with which measurements can be made in quantum physics. To reduce this uncertainty, physicists have learned to "squeeze" certain measurements. Researchers are now ...

Any exam preparation is a rigorous process which requires an overall understanding of the concepts and basics discussed in a chapter. If we talk about the Class 11 Physics, then one thing to be ...

“It’s not maths that makes physics a science. It’s the fact that you measure things,” says Michael de Podesta in this week’s Physics World Weekly podcast. De Podesta is in conversation with Physics ...

Recently in my physics lab, students were having trouble with the difference between mass and weight. I had ready answers---it’s a topic I’ve gone over hundreds of times. But after I explained that ...

Class 11 Physics Notes for Chapter 2 Units and Measurements (Class 11 Physics NCERT textbook) are available here. This part is the continuation of Part I, the topics covered in this part are: Order of ...

A new measurement of a fundamental particle called the W boson appears to defy the standard model of particle physics, our current understanding of how the basic building blocks of the universe ...
