Ever since the start of the hot Big Bang, time ticks forward as the Universe expands. But could time ever run backward, instead?
Giambattista della Porta’s contributions to codebreaking changed the course of communication.
If there really is another version of you out there in a parallel universe, what can that teach us about reality?
There might be a hard limit to our knowledge of the Universe.
“Even with my training, I still got insights from the book’s descriptions. That’s how good Carroll is at explaining physics.”
Is science absolute? Its truths and discoveries guide us toward the nature of reality, but we must always remain open-minded to revisions.
“When molecules misbehave, it can lead to great insight.”
Do they have real, observable effects, or are they merely calculational tools?
In the very early Universe, practically all particles were massless. Then the Higgs symmetry broke, and suddenly everything was different.
Is the physical universe independent from us, or is it created by our minds, as suggested by scientist Robert Lanza?
“To be ignorant of causes is to be frustrated in action.” So wrote Francis Bacon, counsel to Queen Elizabeth I of England and key architect of the scientific method. In […]
Only the best physical theories outlast the minds that invented them. Throughout the 20th century, a number of discoveries revolutionized our Universe. The discovery of the interior structure of atoms as […]
More than any other of Einstein’s equations, E = mc² is the most recognizable to people. But what does it all mean?
Could anyone still meet the Theoretical Minimum?
Cosmologists are largely still in the dark about the forces that drive the Universe.
The cat-and-mouse game between China and the world’s semiconductor companies is already having enormous consequences.
Asking science to determine what happened before time began is like asking, “Who were you before you were born?”
As time goes on, dark energy makes distant galaxies recede from us ever faster in our expanding Universe. But nothing truly disappears.
A rift in thinking about who should control powerful new technologies sent the brothers on diverging paths. For one, the story ended with a mission to bring science to the public.
Signals from across the universe point toward a fascinating possibility.
Our Universe requires dark matter in order to make sense of things, astrophysically. Could massive photons do the trick?
The Big Theoretical Physics Problem At The Center Of The ‘Muon g-2’ Puzzle In early April, 2021, the experimental physics community announced an enormous victory: they had measured the muon’s magnetic […]
Do we still remember what we learned in the 1940s?
If you can model anything in the Universe with an equation, mathematics is how you get the solution(s). Physics must go a step further.
From health to leadership abilities, a good sense of humor can help improve many aspects of life.
IceCube just found an active galaxy in the nearby Universe, 47 million light-years away, through its neutrino emissions: a cosmic first.
Dive into China’s profound intellectual legacy through five seminal texts that have shaped millennia of thought.
The “scientific Buddha” and the idea of Buddhist exceptionalism with regard to science are modern creations.
