To Einstein, nature had to be rational. But quantum physics showed us that there was not always a way to make it so.

“If you’re training an AI to optimize for a task, and deception is a good way for it to complete the task, then there’s a good chance that it will use deception.”
We can’t always change our horrible bosses — but we can transform the ways we interact with them.
It may be an advantage in some contexts.
Smart investors recognize that the stock market doesn’t exist in a vacuum.
Emotional intelligence (EI) is much more than a trending C-suite buzz phrase — it’s the anchor attribute of every great leader.
Traditionally, the long history of Japanese thought has not been viewed as “philosophy” — even by Japanese scholars. It’s time for a rethink.
How does the mind interact with the body? Nobody really knows — but these philosophers ventured an answer.
At a fundamental level, only a few particles and forces govern all of reality. How do their combinations create human consciousness?
Despite the Sun’s high core temperatures, particles can’t quite overcome their mutual electric repulsion. Good thing for quantum physics!
“When you feel the isolation setting in at times, you have to reframe your mindset.”
The Extremely Large Telescope (ELT) will have a light-collecting power 10 times greater than today’s best telescope.
In the very early Universe, practically all particles were massless. Then the Higgs symmetry broke, and suddenly everything was different.
Studies suggest that meditation can quiet the restless brain.
The science fiction dream of a traversable wormhole is no closer to reality, despite a quantum computer’s suggestive simulation.
Long-term research efforts have revealed alarming mental health trends.
Depression can cause you to think too much — and physically sense too little.
For people with hard-to-treat depression, a non-invasive technique called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) can provide relief.
There’s a link between dark personality traits and breaches of battlefield ethics.
God is not a vending machine, but is it wrong to treat him like one?
Talking to yourself seems to yield real benefits, from boosts in cognitive performance to improved emotional regulation.
If you look into a mirror, you’ll notice that left-and-right are reversed, but up-and-down is preserved. The reason isn’t what you think.
There are four money personality types. Which are you?
On New Year’s Eve 1899, the captain of this Pacific steamliner sailed into history. Or did he?
“Groupthink” gets a bad rap. In reality, we need groups to focus our thinking and to build on the ideas of others.
Technology goes in directions we can never predict — so we must be prepared to limit the spread of unintended consequences.
When cosmic inflation came to an end, the hot Big Bang ensued as a result. If our cosmic vacuum state decays, could it all happen again?
Einstein’s most famous equation is E = mc², which describes the rest mass energy inherent to particles. But motion matters for energy, too.
The father of relativity understood that “not everything that counts can be counted” — as do today’s most impactful leaders.
Denmark’s 10 Jante Laws are grim, and yet they bring so much happiness.
