Quantum entanglement achieved!
- Researchers achieved entanglement between the nuclei (i.e. the “hearts”) of two phosphorus atoms embedded in a silicon chip, separated by ~20 nanometres. - They used the nuclear spins of those atoms to store quantum information (good coherence, well-shielded). - Communication/interaction between the nuclei is mediated via electrons (which couple to each nucleus) using a technique called a geometric gate. - This is a step beyond previous setups where multiple nuclei shared a single electron (i.e. were much more closely tied). Here, the method works even when nuclei are not on the same electron. - Because 20 nm is comparable to dimensions used in modern silicon transistor manufacturing, this suggests compatibility with existing silicon-chip fabrication technologies. - The work paves the way toward scalable quantum computers using long-lived nuclear spin qubits—combining good coherence (from nuclei) with more flexible control (via electrons). https://www.sciencealert.com/breakthrough-quantum-entanglement-achieved-between-the-hearts-of-two-atoms#
Topic of the Week: Are we living in a Simulation?
Are we living in a simulation? HERE IS A THOUGHT EXPERIMENT FOR EVERYONE:: What would have to be true for this existence that we are experiencing be a simulation? I am so interested to see wht you guys think. 1️⃣ Simulation Theory Beginner Comprehensive Overview: Simulation theory proposes that our reality might be an artificial simulation, similar to a computer program. Think of it as the idea that our universe could be like a highly sophisticated virtual reality, where consciousness and physics operate within a simulated framework. Philosophers like Nick Bostrom argue that future civilizations might run “ancestor simulations” to study history or intelligence. Evidence is mostly theoretical—patterns in physics, computational limits of the universe, and philosophical reasoning fuel the debate.

Thought Experiment:🔬 Simulation Theory
How would you test for proof or disprove that this is a simulation? I honestly don’t know.

Energy as Substance: Radiowaves, Plasma, and Entanglement Against the Vacuum Ontology By Kenneth Parrott Abstract Conventional physics often describes space as a “vacuum,” implying emptiness or the absence of substance. Yet observable phenomena such as radiowaves, plasma, and quantum entanglement demonstrate that energy itself is substance. If energy lacked substance, it could not manifest, propagate, or exert measurable effects. This paper argues that radiowaves, plasma, and entanglement provide empirical evidence that “vacuum” is a misnomer: space is not void, but a structured medium of flows. The ontology of “nothingness” is therefore incoherent within physical science. 1. Introduction The term “vacuum” has persisted from early physics into modern cosmology. In laboratories, a vacuum is defined as the removal of air or matter, but in the cosmos, space is far from empty. Radiowaves travel through it, plasmas dominate its visible matter, and entanglement connects particles across its expanse. This paper demonstrates that these phenomena require substance. To call space a vacuum is ontologically inconsistent with the existence of measurable energy. 2. Radiowaves and the Electromagnetic Field 2.1 Substance in Oscillation Radiowaves are oscillations of the electromagnetic field. They carry energy, momentum, and information, measurable in receivers and antennas. 2.2 Empirical Proof If radiowaves lacked substance, they could not induce currents, alter plasma states, or produce observable heating effects. Their very detection demonstrates the reality of the electromagnetic substrate. 3. Plasma as the Dominant State of Matter 3.1 Nature of Plasma Plasma is ionized matter, constituting stars, solar winds, and interstellar filaments. It behaves as a conductive, dynamic medium, organizing itself into currents and filaments. 3.2 Plasma in Cosmic Structure Roughly 99% of visible matter in the universe is plasma. To deny its substance is to deny the very medium that sustains stars and galaxies.
