Research Outreach – Issue 134: Retrocausality and quantum weirdness, chemical soup, and digital twin tech

Quantum weirdness, chemical soup, and digital twin tech

The most recent issue of Research Outreach once again spans the full spectrum of scientific and academic research from STEM education to digital twin technology, as well as studies into how the different chemical species in our atmosphere react to solar radiation. Researchers are digging into the core principles of quantum mechanics, trialling antivirals that can prevent outbreaks of foot-and-mouth […]

Retrocausality: How backwards-in-time effects could explain quantum weirdness

Dr Rod Sutherland has developed a model of retrocausality, which might pave the way for solving long-standing mysteries in physics.

Since the earliest days of quantum theory, physicists have struggled to reconcile the apparently nonlocal, faster-than-light interactions demanded by quantum mechanics with the strict laws of relativity. Dr Rod Sutherland at the University of Sydney, Australia, believes that the answer to this problem lies with ‘retrocausality’ – a concept which would allow quantum measurements to influence events in their past. […]
