But we are still unable to explain exactly what consciousness is or where it comes from. “Consciousness — or better, conscious experience — is obviously a part of reality,” Johannes Kleiner, a mathematician and theoretical physicist at the Munich Center For Mathematical … Read more

Could Echoes from Colliding Black Holes Prove Stephen Hawking’s Greatest Prediction?

In 1974 Stephen Hawking theorized that black holes are not black but slowly emit thermal radiation. Hawking’s prediction shook physics to its core because it implied that black holes cannot last forever and that they instead, over eons, evaporate into nothingness—except, however, for one small problem: there is simply no way to see such faint … Read more
