What's up in
As physicists extend the 19th-century laws of thermodynamics to the quantum realm, they’re rewriting the relationships among energy, entropy and information.
According to our best theories of physics, the universe is a fixed block where time only appears to pass.
Nature’s large-scale patterns emerge from incomplete surveys that borrow ideas from information theory.
A new theory explains the seemingly irreversible arrow of time while yielding insights into entropy, quantum computers, black holes, and the past-future divide.
An MIT physicist has proposed the provocative idea that life exists because the law of increasing entropy drives matter to acquire lifelike physical properties.
