Multiverses and Branes: Unveiling Parallel Universes

9 gennaio 2025

The idea that our universe is not unique but part of a vast ensemble of universes is one of the boldest propositions of modern physics. This concept, known as the multiverse, has its roots in advanced theories such as string theory, inflationary cosmology, and quantum mechanics. Among the most fascinating proposals is that of branes, multidimensional membranes that could form the fundamental fabric of parallel realities. … More Multiverses and Branes: Unveiling Parallel Universes

Quantum Tunneling: A Gateway to the Subatomic World

11 dicembre 2024

Quantum tunneling is one of the most intriguing phenomena in quantum mechanics. It describes a particle’s ability to pass through a potential barrier that, according to classical physics, should be impenetrable. Imagine a ball thrown against a wall: in the macroscopic world, it would stop upon impact. However, in the quantum realm, there’s a small probability that the ball “tunnels” through the wall and appears on the other side. … More Quantum Tunneling: A Gateway to the Subatomic World
