Two Dimensions of Time Explain Quantum Physics, Dr Marco Pettini Argues

Matthieu Giroux — 2026-08-16T06:18:00Z

You've probably heard that quantum mechanics is spooky, that measuring one particle instantly affects another across any distance. A physicist now says there's a reason: the universe doesn't have one dimension of time, but two. It sounds absurd, but he's got the maths and even a way to test it. Genius or nonsense? Let's take a look.

Electrodynamic Forces and Life: A New Layer in the Intricacies of Molecular Biology with Dr. Pettini - 2026-08 Catarina Cunha

Uncover the groundbreaking work of Marco Pettini and his team, who reveal a surprising force at play in the dance of biomolecules. With the use of two pioneering experiments, they bring to light the existence of long-range electrodynamic (ED) forces between molecules—forces that, until now, remained theoretical. These forces could dramatically change our understanding of cellular dynamics, potentially speeding up certain cellular processes and perhaps even playing a role in drug design. Dive deep with us as we explore this thrilling frontier, ponder its implications in evolution, and imagine its potential uses in biomedical innovation.

Why Quantum Gravity Doesn't Work ?

Matthieu Giroux — 2025-10-01T06:33:00Z

Quantum mechanics and general relativity both describe nature with astonishing precision, but when we try to combine them using the same perturbative tools that work so well in quantum electrodynamics, the method breaks down.

In QED, the small value of the fine-structure constant ensures that higher-order corrections remain tiny, allowing us to make incredibly accurate predictions. For gravity, however, the effective coupling grows with the square of energy. As we approach the Planck scale, loop corrections become unsuppressed, renormalisation fails, and smooth spacetime stops being a useful description.

This does not mean physics itself collapses; it means our current mathematical framework reaches its limits. At low energies, quantum gravity works perfectly as an effective theory, giving small, well-defined corrections to Newton's law. But at extremely high energies, perturbation theory loses predictive power, hinting that spacetime may be emergent from something deeper.

Roger Penrose: "My Crazy Idea That Explains the Universe" - 2025-11 Curt Jaimungal

Nobel laureate Sir Roger Penrose dismantles standard cosmology, arguing the Big Bang wasn't the beginning and quantum mechanics is fundamentally wrong. He then connects a real, gravitational wave function collapse to the non-computational nature of consciousness and why today's AI can't truly understand.

Is Physics Broken? Dr Jack Symes | Philosophy - 2026-09 Sabine Hossenfelder

I had the pleasure of sitting down with Sabine Hossenfelder for a wonderful wide-ranging conversation about some of the biggest questions in physics and philosophy.
We discuss what's gone wrong with modern physics, the problems with speculative theories, whether God exists, the mysteries of entropy and infinity, how the universe might end, whether the things described by science really exist, panpsychism, the hard problem of consciousness – and whether philosophers and physicists should stay in their own lanes.
Sabine Hossenfelder is a theoretical physicist and science communicator. She holds a PhD in physics and has published over 80 research papers in the foundations of physics, from cosmology to quantum foundations and particle physics.

Does God Exist? Dr Jack Symes | Philosophy - Slavoj Žižek, ‪Sabine Hossenfelder‬, Rowan Williams, William Lane Craig - 2026-07

Slavoj Žižek, ‪@SabineHossenfelder‬, Rowan Williams, and William Lane Craig (‪@ReasonableFaithOrg‬) go head-to-head on the biggest question there is: God's existence.

Does God exist, or is belief in God an unnecessary addition to our understanding of reality? In this special live event at the Royal Institution, philosopher William Lane Craig, former Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams, physicist Sabine Hossenfelder and philosopher Slavoj Žižek debate the biggest question of all.

Time Has 3 Dimensions, New Theory Flips Reality, Space Becomes Secondary

Matthieu Giroux — 2025-09-16T05:32:00Z

A radical new theory from researchers at Warsaw & Oxford, and further developed by Gunther Kletetschka at UAF, proposes time isn't just one dimension—it might be three-dimensional, while space emerges as a byproduct of time's structure.

Why This Is Mind‑Blowing:
Three axes of time could explain quantum mysteries like entanglement, superposition, and particle mass.

Kletetschka's math reproduces real particle masses (e.g. electron & top quark) with incredible accuracy—bringing testability to the theory.

Flipping spacetime from 3+1 to 1+3 could be the key to unifying quantum mechanics and gravity, solving physics' biggest puzzle.

New quantum and temporal model of the universe :

Model Suggests Time Has 3 Dimensions and Makes Intriguing Predictions - 2025 - Anton Petrov

You have confirmed in this last video, which drives quantum modeling, that consciousness or the soul create time. In the previous 2, an astrophysicist tested and verified my thought experiment on the soul slowing down time without quoting me, because I am not an astrophysicist but am interested in the bugs of science such as the displacement of atoms.

I questioned at school everything that seemed abnormal to me in what I was learning, especially in science. Also, I was studying to be able to use what I was learning, not for a simple short-term performance, although a lot of what I was learning seemed unproven to me, so unnatural. For example, third-grade geometry seemed more interesting to me than high school algebra.

I found it because I inform myself about the limits of the human being by questioning by nature what my parents taught me and especially because I simplified in a method called "How to write stories" allowed to review the pedagogy of the newspaper "Nouvelle Solidarité" belonging to the more wellknown Lyndon Larouche international network. I propose, through various ebooks and free slides to follow my truth-seeking's way.

I can be creative and focused at the same time by scientific passion. On the other hand, I memorize first names and uncrowded faces very poorly.

David Elbaz is not a theorist but an astronomy's uncoder. Jean-Pierre Petit is clearly less pretentious with Newton. Indeed, David only talks about Newton's error at the end, with the trajectory of Mercury that we could not calculate by universal gravitation, which has never been universal according to Kepler, Kepler's formulas making it possible to calculate mass as Newton's formula should do.

Jean-Pierre Petit indicates that his calculations do not take into account radio emissions, which could create particles or even matter, since matter creates itself. Otherwise, there would be no matter.

Jean-Pierre Petit wanted to use quantum field theory to modelize universe, with 3 fields at a point in universe. This quantum modeling or simulation should be Gunther Kletetschka's 3D time theory.

Physicists Find Missing Link Between Quantum Mechanics and Gravity

Matthieu Giroux — 2025-09-03T05:56:00Z

Recently, a pair of researchers made a massive breakthrough in the foundations of physics. In their paper, they describe how gravity is an emergent property. More specifically, they say that the origin of gravity is entropy. And not just any entropy, but the entropy of quantum fields. How big is this really? Let's take a look.

Physicists Say They Know the Origin of Gravity - 2026-07 - Sabine Hossenfelder

Paper : https://journals.aps.org/prl/abstract/10.1103/lmq8-nsty

We know that Einstein's general relativity is, strictly speaking, wrong. That's because it doesn't account for quantum effects despite the fact that those effects really do exist. In a new paper, physicists say they've re-done Einstein's equations with quantum effects taken into account. According to them, there's a “clear difference” between the two. Let's take a look at what they've done and what it could mean for physics.

Over the past few decades, the idea that gravity is not a fundamental interaction but is instead caused by the increase of entropy has become increasingly popular in the world of physics. Today, we have a paper from a group of physicists who claim that entropic gravity might be the result of space being full of qubits. Let's take a look.

Brain Really Uses Quantum Effects, New Study Finds

When Roger Penrose originally came out with the idea that the human brain uses quantum effects in microtubules and that was the origin of consciousness, many thought the idea was a little crazy. According to a new study, it turns out that Penrose was actually right… about the microtubules anyways. Let's have a look.

Philosophy about Multiverse

Should we abandon the multiverse theory? | 2022-11 Sabine Hossenfelder, Roger Penrose, Michio Kaku

What is driving the mulitverse theory? Are the multiverse stories only a sticky-plaster solution to the Big Bang theory problem? Leading thinkers Sabine Hossenfelder, Roger Penrose and Michio Kaku debate.

00:00 Introduction
02:22 Michio Kaku | Multiverse theory has now dominating cosmology; it is unavoidable.
06:03 Sabine Hossenfelder | Believing in the multiverse is the logical equivalent to believing in God.
07:57 Roger Penrose | Universes are sequential and so are not independent worlds.
16:36 Theme 1 | Do scientifc theories need to be testable?
28:45 Theme 2 | Are tales of the multiverse solutions to the Big Bang theory in trouble?
42:49 Theme 3 | Will theories of the universe always be bound by untestable elements?

Multiverses are everywhere. Or at least the theory is. Everyone from physicists Stephen Hawking and Brian Greene to Marvel superheroes have shown their support for the idea. But critics argue that not only is the multiverse improbable, it is also fantasy and fundamentally unscientific as the theory can never be tested - a requirement that has defined science from its outset.

Should we reject the grand claims and leave multiverse theories to the pages of comic books? Are tales of the multiverse really sticking-plaster solutions for Big Bang theory in trouble? Or should we take multiverse theory as seriously as its proponents, and accept that modern science has moved beyond the bounds of experiment and into that of imagination?

Michio Kaku is the co-founder of string field theory and the author of several books including several New York Times best sellers such as ‘The God Equation: The Quest for a Theory of Everything became.' He is also professor of theoretical physics in the City College of New York and CUNY Graduate Center.

Sabine Hossenfelder is a theoretical physicist who specializes in the foundations of physics. She is a Research Fellow at the Frankfurt Institute for Advanced Studies where she leads the group on Superfluid Dark Matter.

Roger Penrose is a world-renowned mathematician and Nobel Laureate in Physics. He is best known for his work on general relativity and sharing the Wolf Prize for Physics with Stephen Hawking for his work on black holes.

Gerard ‘t Hooft won the Nobel Prize in 1999, and the recent Breakthrough Prize, for his work on the Standard Model of Particle physics. He also thinks that quantum mechanics is nonsense. Indeed, he has an alternative theory for quantum mechanics that he says is how the world really works. This theory has been almost entirely ignored by physicists. Which is unfortunate, because he predicts a limit for what quantum computers can do.

Today I want to tell you about ‘t Hooft's ideas about quantum physics, to the extent that I understand them.
