In Expanding de Sitter Space, Quantum Mechanics Gets Even More Elusive

SMRTR summary

Scientists struggle to understand quantum mechanics in expanding universes, which poses a major challenge since our real universe is actually expanding rather than static or collapsing. Recent calculations reveal that the mathematical framework physicists use to describe quantum behavior becomes increasingly problematic and elusive when applied to the expanding cosmic environment we live in.
