Scientists Just Proved A Fundamental Quantum Physics Problem is Unsolvable

Posted by in categories: particle physics, quantum physics

Scientists have proven for the very first time that one of the most fundamental problems of particle and quantum physics is mathematically unsolvable.

In short, they show that regardless of how no matter how perfectly we can mathematically describe a material on the microscopic level, we are never going to be able to predict its macroscopic behavior. Never.

The work was published in Nature.
