A central idea of physics is that reference frames don't change fundamental laws. It shouldn't matter where you observe an event or how fast you are moving, the laws of physics should remain the same ...

According to one of the most fundamental principles in physics, an observer on a moving train uses the same laws to describe a ball on the platform as an observer standing on the platform - physical ...

New research indicates some neurons can shift to process information about movement depending on the brain's current frame of reference. The findings may have implications for developing future ...

How does the human brain learn to innovate? The Thousand Brain theory, proposed by Silicon Valley innovator-turned-scientist Jeff Hawkins, is the first proposal to explain how the brain functions at ...

But how do neurons represent objects in different reference frames while you move through an environment? In a paper published in the journal Nature Neuroscience, researchers from the University of ...

Since their discovery in 2004, the grid cells in the brain, which are important for our orientation, have been regarded as a kind of "GPS in the head." However, scientists at the German Cancer ...

Researchers have demonstrated that whether an object (in our example, the ball) shows quantum features depends on the reference frame. The physical laws, however, are still independent of it.
