“Schrödinger’s Alarming Phenomenon” Rocky Kolb The University of Chicago The big bang is a laboratory to explore the properties of particles that cannot be created in terrestrial laboratories. In addition to thermal processes, there is another source of cosmological particle production. In 1939 … Read more
“The Quantum and the Cosmos” Rocky Kolb The University of Chicago The laws of the quantum rule the submicroscopic world. But the action of quantum mechanics in the big bang world also produced the largest structures in the cosmos. … Read more
