As a quantum physicist, my work has led me to believe we could drastically enhance human consciousness, the inexplicable machinations that make you feel like you. It explains everything from your most profound revelations to how you decide which snack you’re hungry for, and yet scientists still struggle to understand it. In my view, there are certain biological limitations to human creativity, and if my theory is correct, we could one day create “enhanced humans” that could experience parts of reality that are otherwise hidden—expanding on our very consciousness. My idea hinges on an equally mysterious topic: quantum physics, or the study of how the universe works at the smallest levels. The late American physicist David Bohm, PhD, argued that the basic features of quantum physics—like superposition, interference, and entanglement—are an extension of the workings of our brain. Bohm was here echoing one of the founders of quantum physics, the Dane Niels Bohr, PhD. Bohr belie...

The traditional understanding is that the center of our galaxy is dominated by a supermassive black hole. The “supermassive” part isn’t a mere superlative; your typical black hole that forms from the explosive death of a star weighs up to dozens of times than the Sun, while a supermassive one like the Milky Way’s Sagittarius A* would be around four million times our star’s mass. But new research challenges this long held idea. Instead of a black hole, there could be something else lurking there that’s also invisible to observers: a colossal clump of dark matter, the substance thought to account for 85 percent of all mass in the cosmos. A new study, published in the journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, argues this would be possible if the dark matter entity was made of subatomic particles called fermions. Compared to traditional dark matter, which forms more diffuse blobs or “halos,” fermionic dark matter would press together to form a more tightly pack...
