“Even with my training, I still got insights from the book’s descriptions. That’s how good Carroll is at explaining physics.”
“To take this in, you need to ride inside the mathematical symbols.”
An average undergraduate student in physics is better than the AI.
Neuroscience supports the notion that an escape from conventional perspectives can be a gateway to spectacular insights.
Realizing that matter and energy are quantized is important, but quantum particles aren’t the full story; quantum fields are needed, too.
If the past is any guide, things are going to take off quickly.
Until the Apollo missions, we had no idea how the moon got here, just a series of educated guesses. They rewrote the story of the moon’s origins.
The hyperloop would be a great idea for a completely flat planet. With topography and infrastructure, it’s a very different story.
Two types of leaves for two different drastic weather conditions.
Some microbes can withstand Earth’s most inhospitable corners, hinting that life may be able to survive similarly extreme conditions on other worlds.
Everything is made of matter, not antimatter, including black holes. If antimatter black holes existed, what would they do?
Measurements of the acceleration of the universe don’t agree, stumping physicists working to understand the cosmic past and future. A new proposal seeks to better align these estimates — and is likely testable.
Once water gets more than about 200 feet deep, building on the sea floor is out of the question.
Organic molecules can be produced by living or non-living systems. But the recent findings are very intriguing.
Astronomers used supercomputers and an international network of antennas to create the stunning map.
Always look on the bright side of death.
Spin, spin, spin — fire! The startup’s radical system could make satellite launches cheaper and cleaner.
Over the past 50 years, 27 leap seconds have been added to our time.
But it’s still challenging to build a 22,000-mile elevator.
It could make enough drinking water for a family of four.
Life in the supremely vast cosmos is incredibly rare. We need a new vision for our living planet and for ourselves.
The Big Bang is commonly misunderstood, warping our understanding about the Universe’s size and shape.
“When you feel the isolation setting in at times, you have to reframe your mindset.”
Even without the greatest individual scientist of all, every one of his great scientific advances would still have occurred. Eventually.
No matter how good our measurement devices get, certain quantum properties always possess an inherent uncertainty. Can we figure out why?
We seem to have a “progression bias” that nudges us toward pro-relationship decisions and away from breaking up.
The recently discovered Oort cloud comet, Bernardinelli–Bernstein, has the largest known nucleus: 119 km. Here’s what it could do to Earth.
In our common experience, you can’t get something for nothing. In the quantum realm, something really can emerge from nothing.
