How Did Life Arise from Increasing Entropy?
New ReviewSUMMARY The second law of thermodynamics states that overall entropy of any isolated system can never decrease. Entropy is a measure of the disorder in a system (roughly). However, living things don’t seem to follow this rule. So how...

Position and Momentum Operators in Quantum Mechanics
We've learned a bit about quantum mechanics from a strictly conceptual and qualitative standpoint. But now it's time to dig a little deeper. Quantum mechanics is mathematics, so if we want to understand it on a fundamental level, we have...
