A concept developed for computer science could have a key role in fundamental physics — and point the way to a new understanding of space and time. When physicist Leonard Susskind gives talks these ...

Leonard Susskind, a pioneer of string theory, the holographic principle and other big physics ideas spanning the past half century, has proposed a solution to an important puzzle about black holes.

The puzzling behavior of black hole interiors has led researchers to propose a new physical law: the second law of quantum complexity. Heat death held a morbid fascination for Victorian-era physicists ...
