Could studying the universe DESTROY it? Changing our perception of the cosmos could end it if quantum theories are correct
This is based on strange way quantum states are affected when observed In Schrödinger’s cat experiment, a cat in a box, whose fate is decided by subatomic particles, is both alive and dead until someone looks at it According to… Read More ›
Quantum ‘sealed envelope’ system enables ‘perfectly secure’ information storage
