Beyond distance. Beyond time. Beyond logic.

Beyond distance. Beyond time. Beyond logic.

Physicists call it quantum entanglement, but now there’s something new. A new kind of entanglement, can make science fiction less… fiction.

Move fast but forget the past?

Move fast but forget the past?

The quantum algorithm gets to the exit, but it doesn’t know how it got there. Speed that burns the past?

Choices and Anti-Choices

Who or what determines which choices carry enough weight to change our existence?

Catch me if you can

Catch me if you can

At that point, we will have access to the very structure of reality and we will speak the native language of the universe.

Could human teleportation, as seen in Star Trek, ever be achieved? [here]

Quantum Entanglement

Quantum teleportation

Teleporting matter is not yet possible, but we can move information. And that is what a group of Chinese scientists did using the entanglement.

It opens new horizons in our understanding of the universe, and leads us to explore the invisible world with more powerful tools.

What if the Library of Congress was a Quantum Reality?

Because physics is about our being in the world and our connection to creation. To the universe. To God. And also to the great libraries. Crazy cool, I tell you.

The quanta story: Max Planck, Einstein

The Infinitesimal Enigma

Remember your origins: you were not made to live as brutes, but to follow virtue and knowledge.

Steins;Gate and Time Travels: No time to die... twice.

Steins;Gate and Time Travels: No time to die... twice.

When I first saw the Steins;Gate anime, I was struck by the incredibly “slow” atmosphere. The surreal overlay of events immediately captivated me and I wasn't disappointed.

Doctor Who: Bigger on the inside than the outside

I don’t think it’s possible to explain it, how do you explain the implications of being a "Time Lord" with two hearts? A time-traveling humanoid who uses a blue police box as a time machine, and a screwdriver to solve the most bizarre and surreal situations?

Quantum mechanics is "not" a kind of magic

Even scientists don't know yet how to interpret all the results of QM, but we can say for sure what QM is not: some kind of magic.

The Quantum Frontier: Why Quantum Science Fiction Can Open New Horizons

The Quantum Frontier: Why Quantum Science Fiction Can Open New Horizons

Quantum physics may represent a revolution in the scientific paradigm, a change of vision and the opening of a horizon that science fiction can help to understand.

Quantum Entanglement by Victor De Schwanberg

Time, space and Quantum Entanglement

Entanglement is a correlation between different physical systems that establishes a relationship between their respective properties and is so substantial that it persists even when these systems, separated in space and time, no longer interact.
