What If Everything You Know About Time Is Wrong? New Study Reveals Shocking Possibility
A new study by the University of Surrey proposes that time might flow in both forward and backward directions at the quantum level, challenging our traditional understanding of time's arrow.

Shape-Recovering Liquid Accidentally Created by Student, Challenges the Law of Thermodynamics
Upon blending the oil, water, and nickel mixture, a shape-recovering liquid, which consistently returns to the shape of a Grecian urn, was formed. It defies the law of thermodynamics. Further investigations revealed that this strange behaviour of the particles is due to the magnetic field of the particles and not a violation of the law of thermodyn...

Opinion | Let 'Thermodynamics' Teach You Something About AI
In thermodynamics, entropy represents an inexorable march toward disorder. Left to its own devices, an isolated system inevitably slides toward maximum disorder. This fundamental principle may offer us a lens through which to view our AI challenges.

Advanced Alien Civilisations Could Self-Destruct Through Climate Change, Claims New Study
A recent study by astrophysicists suggests that technologically advanced alien civilizations could self-destruct through climate change within just 1,000 years. The researchers, inspired by human energy use patterns, found that even renewable energy sources contribute to planetary overheating due to inevitable heat loss. The second law of thermodyn...

Scientist Counters Einstein's Relativity Theory, Claims He's 'Fixed' Flaws
In his new gravitational model, the researcher started from the so-called Gibbs-Duhem relation that is used in thermodynamics to describe changes in a system.

Staying Cool When the Fat Hits the Fire
When I'm with a chef, I always ask for the secret to good cooking. Once we get past the long speeches about the importance of passion, I usually hear a version of what Adam Evans, the chef at the Optimist in Atlanta, told me recently. "Cooking is thermodynamics,"...
