How Feynman Rewrote Motion

How Feynman Rewrote Motion
Richard Feynman's path-integral idea shows that classical motion is an emergent pattern of quantum possibilities; a 2023 experiment made that emergence visible by measuring single…

Tabletop Test for Quantum Gravity
A small-scale experiment could decide whether gravity behaves like the rest of physics: quantum. New proposals and lab advances aim to entangle tiny masses via gravity and, in doi…
