The key to understanding why life is not explainable in current physics may be to reconsider our notions of time and information.

It appears that we live on the knife-edge, where only the narrowest combination of values for the fundamental constants allow life, and especially conscious life, to arise.

We asked our graduating physics and engineering physics students what advice they had for other students, where they are headed after CU, and what they will carry with them into their next chapter.

Challenging conventional wisdom, modern science explores concepts that redefine life and death, suggesting death might be a mental illusion. Biocentrism posits that consciousness shapes the ...

The Hubble tension is one of the biggest mysteries in cosmology. It centers around the Hubble constant—the measurement of how fast our universe is expanding—which comes out as two different ...

Six Breakthrough Prizes of $3 million each were awarded in Life Sciences, Fundamental Physics, and Mathematics.

In a new book, physicist Sara Walker argues that assembly theory can explain what life is, and even help scientists create new forms of it.

Eating ‘Family Style’ May Have Set the Stage for Life as We Know It Under microscopes, scientists found that giant single-cell organisms were able to vacuum up more food when they are stuck ...

Urry, the Israel Munson Professor of Physics and Astronomy in Yale’s Faculty of Arts and Sciences and one of the world’s leading astrophysicists, has high expectations for this seminar. She’s taught ...

The Vatican Observatory, founded by the Catholic Church in 1891 to promote the study of space and physics, is organizing a future event with high-profile physicists and philosophers to continue ...

Over the short span of just 300 years, since the invention of modern physics, we have gained a deeper understanding of how our universe works on both small and large scales. Yet, physics is still very ...

Our laws of physics contain several parameters with values that we cannot predict from theory alone. These are known as the fundamental constants.
