Warp drive has moved a little farther out of science fiction and a little deeper into physics. A new round of theoretical work has sharpened one of the oldest ideas in faster-than-light travel: a ...

“First, you get the money, then you get the power, and then you get the women.” Tony Montana Scarface. For Warp drive. First, we get the math, then we get the physics and then we get the warp drive.

It has long been a mystery why pure math can reveal so much about the nature of the physical world. Antimatter was discovered in Paul Dirac’s equations before being detected in cosmic rays. Quarks ...

Sitting in the front row of a "General Chemistry" class at McCosh last fall, tracking questions and taking notes as earnestly as any undergraduate, Ana Mostafavi was a reassuring fixture in one of the ...

How can we tell good from evil? Is there a way that we should lead our lives? Such inquiries are typically the realm of philosophers, but Steven Landsburg argues that math, economics, and physics can ...

MIP * = RE is not a typo. It is a groundbreaking discovery and the catchy title of a recent paper in the field of quantum complexity theory. Complexity theory is a zoo of “complexity classes” – ...

His unifying disparate theoretical realms helped revolutionize our understanding of the most basic structure of the universe. By Julie Rehmeyer Isadore Singer, who unified large areas of mathematics ...
