In this video, we explore the relationship between string theory and quantum field theory (QFT). QFT is a mathematical ...

A classic math rule now handles infinity. New work strengthens the math behind physics and unbounded systems. % ...

At the frontiers of theoretical physics, many of the most popular ideas have one thing in common: they begin from a mathematical framework that seeks to explain more things than our currently ...

The field of Reverse Mathematics explores the minimal axiomatic frameworks necessary to prove classical theorems, seeking to elucidate the logical foundations of mathematics. In parallel, ...

The simulation hypothesis—the idea that our universe might be an artificial construct running on some advanced alien computer ...

Mathematics is one of the oldest disciplines of study. For all its antiquity, however, it is a modern, rapidly growing field. Only 70 years ago, mathematics might have been said to consist of algebra, ...

One of the world's most complex mathematical theories may have finally been cracked by a scholar in Japan, although confirming the breakthrough may take many more years due to the sheer scale of the ...

A mathematical theory of human behaviour may re-organise the social sciences in the same way that Darwin’s Theory of Evolution re-organised the biological sciences, according to new research from the ...
