Gravity, long the sovereign force in the cosmic hierarchy, may be little more than a statistical side effect a byproduct of entropy, not a fundamental interaction. That is the provocative assertion ...

The proof, known to be so hard that a mathematician once offered 10 martinis to whoever could figure it out, connects quantum mechanics to infinitely intricate mathematical structures. Hofstadter was ...

We’re celebrating 180 years of Scientific American. Explore our legacy of discovery and look ahead to the future. If there is a beginning time point for the Age of Scientific Reversal, it may be ...
