For more than a century, gravity has been the stubborn outlier in physics, resisting every attempt to merge Einstein’s smooth ...

Time feels like the most familiar thing in the world, yet it hides one of physics’ hardest questions: why do we only remember ...

For a technical scientific term, entropy is pretty popular. I mean, it was the title of an episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, after all. Search the Internet for “entropy” quotes and you’ll find them ...

Every moment that passes finds us traveling from the past to the present and into the future, with time always flowing in the same direction. At no point does it ever appear to either stand still or ...

Caltech physicist Sean M. Carroll has been wrestling with the mystery of time. Most physical laws work equally well going backward or forward, yet time flows only in one direction. Writing in this ...

Why does time flow from the past to the future? That’s an extraordinarily deceptively simple question. It seems so, well, straightforward. But when you start to really investigate it, you wind up ...

Time series analysis forms an essential part of modern data science by examining sequential data to unravel the underlying dynamics of complex systems. In particular, entropy-based measures quantify ...
