What makes our brains react the way they do?
Is there a reliable way to condition your brain for better experiences?

Learn about synaptic pruning, the process of synapse elimination that occurs in a developing brain following the “use it or lose it” principle. Researching this phenomenon in the matured human brain has led to a very exciting field of study: Neuroplasticity.

Access the power of Neuroplasticity, and change your brain to change your life!

In today’s episode of Theories of Everything, Curt Jaimungal and Julian Barbour challenge conventional physics by exploring Barbour’s revolutionary ideas on time as an emergent property of change, the universe’s increasing order contrary to entropy, and the foundational nature of shape dynamics.

Could Our Universe Have Been Born from a Black Hole?

Black holes are among the most mysterious and fascinating objects in the universe, known for their powerful gravitational pull that nothing can escape. Interestingly, if you were to compress all the matter in the universe into a single point, you would create a black hole roughly the size of the universe itself. While we do not live inside a black hole, the similarities between black holes and our universe raise intriguing questions about their connection.

Event horizons: no escape in both cases.

Quantum teleportation, once confined to the pages of science fiction, is steadily becoming a tangible scientific achievement. Advances in quantum mechanics over the last decade have transformed teleportation from a theoretical concept into an experimental reality.

These breakthroughs have revealed innovative methods for transmitting information instantaneously over vast distances, offering transformative possibilities for computing, communication, and cryptography. Scientists are now closer than ever to bridging the gap between imagination and reality in this cutting-edge field.

At its core, teleportation in the quantum world isn’t about physically transporting objects or people, as popularized by franchises like Star Trek. Instead, it involves transmitting quantum states—essentially the fundamental properties of particles like electrons or photons—without physical movement of the particles themselves.

Northwestern University engineers are the first to successfully demonstrate quantum teleportation over a fiber optic cable already carrying Internet traffic.

The discovery, published in the journal Optica, introduces the new possibility of combining quantum communication with existing Internet cables — greatly simplifying the infrastructure required for for advanced sensing technologies or quantum computing applications.
