Evolution cannot explain biological complexity without violating some fundamental laws of nature, specifically, the Second Law of Thermodynamics. If you recall, we mentioned the Second Law of Thermody ...

Instead of the big bang, some physicists have suggested that our universe may have come from a big bounce following another ...

Time is one of the most intriguing concepts in physics, and yet, it's something that we often take for granted. But what if the way we experience time moving only forward defies the very laws of ...

The second law of thermodynamics demands that if we want to make a clock more precise – thereby reducing the disorder, or ...

In the strange, often unintuitive world of quantum physics, one mystery has stood out for decades: Can quantum entanglement be manipulated in a reversible way, like energy in a perfect heat engine?

Second, he said, there might be “an arrow in time that describes this increasing complexity,” similar to the way the second law of thermodynamics, which describes the increase in entropy, is ...

The second law of thermodynamics inspires this retirement rule, because “You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems.” ...

While the Second Law of Thermodynamics says that the entropy—or disorder—of any system remains constant or increases over time, the concept of information turns that law on its head.
