When Bohr got it wrong

Philip Ball

Philip Ball peers into the quantum past, and uncovers a little-known paper published by Niels Bohr, Hendrik Kramers and John Slater in 1924, that proposed that the first law of thermodynamics may no longer hold firm. Their idea turned out to be wrong, but in interesting and provocative ways, and it demonstrates the intense turmoil in physics on the brink of quantum mechanics.

How the no‐cloning theorem got its name

Asher Peres

Abstract I was the referee who approved the publication of Nick Herbert's FLASH paper, knowing perfectly well that it was wrong. I explain why my decision was the correct one, and I briefly review the progress to which it led.

Question as Structure: A Philosophical Argument for the Primacy of Interrogative States

Bruce Tisler

A philosophical argument that "question" is a primary structural phenomenon — a system state with its own dynamics, persistence conditions, and resolution criteria measurably distinct from generic uncertainty. Develops a field theory of question grounded in four theoretical claims about the interrogative field I, situates it within Einstein's spacetime framework, and draws structural convergence with Bae et al. (2026) on open quantum systems. Argues that binary logic is the wrong representational framework for question-states and that quantum logic is correct. Explicitly sets aside the consciousness debate. Associated empirical program: Question-State Test Suite v1.4 (10.5281/zenodo.19444323). Quantum Inquiry, quantuminquiry.org.
