It’s knowledgeable, confident, and behaves human-like in many ways. But it’s not magic that powers AI though; it’s just math and data.

In Einstein’s relativity and the Standard Model, we only have three spatial dimensions. But there could be more, and many think there are.
Using atoms to probe the Universe reveals the complete Standard Model. If you wanted to uncover the secrets of the Universe for yourself, all you’d have to do is interrogate […]
Most of us only ever see a fraction of a full rainbow: an arc. But optically, a full rainbow makes a complete circle. Physics explains why.
We pretend to be in control, but we have frighteningly little knowledge upon which to base our life’s decisions.
Complex organisms and living worlds couldn’t exist without these transitions. You couldn’t make the Universe we have today if everything were always the same. Although many philosophically favored the idea […]
If we waited long enough, would even protons themselves decay? The far future stability of the Universe depends on it.
The credibility problem facing the biomedical and public health establishment is, at least in part, a product of its own making.
Just by observing the tiny amount of deuterium left over from the Big Bang, we can determine that dark matter and dark energy must exist.
Hubble showed us what our modern day Universe looks like. JWST’s big goal was to teach us how the Universe grew up. Here’s where we are now.
The brilliant mind who discovered the spacetime solution for rotating black holes claims singularities don’t physically exist. Is he right?
If the Universe is expanding, and the expansion is accelerating, what does that tell us about the cause of the expanding Universe?
Study finds quantum entanglement could, in principle, give a slight advantage in the game of blackjack.
We still don’t know how the information encoded onto it gets out. No matter what you do in the Universe, its overall entropy always increases. Even when we put things in […]
If you have an old TV set with the “rabbit ear” antennae, and you set it to channel 03, that snowy static can reveal the Big Bang itself.
Before there were planets, stars, and galaxies, before even neutral atoms or stable protons, there was the Big Bang. How did we prove it?
The great hope is that beyond the indirect, astrophysical evidence we have today, we’ll someday detect it directly. But what if we can’t?
How Nobel Prize winner physicist Lev Landau ranked the best physics minds of his generation.
It’s not for climate science and condensed matter physics. It’s for advancing our understanding beyond spherical cows.
If you want to get the Universe we see, a multiverse comes along for the ride. When we look out at the Universe today, it simultaneously tells us two stories about […]
If the electromagnetic and weak forces unify to make the electroweak force, maybe, at higher energies, something even grander happens?
Researchers discover black holes that violate the uniqueness theorem and have “gravitational hair.”
Technology has advanced at a blinding pace in the past 150 years. That won’t always happen.
In the early 20th century, a young biochemist named Alexander Oparin set out to connect “the world of the living” to “the world of the dead.”
Can spacekime help us make headway on some of the most pernicious inconsistencies in physics?
A clever new study definitively measures how long it takes for quantum particles to pass through a barrier.
Yes, dark energy is real. Yes, distant galaxies recede faster and faster as time goes on. But the expansion rate isn’t accelerating at all.
Some say that the Sun is a green-yellow color, but our human eyes see it as white, or yellow-to-red during sunset. What color is it really?
And either way, is energy or information conserved? When two things in the Universe that “always” occur meet one another, how do you know which one will win? Gravitational waves, […]
The dream of zero resistance is closer than you may think. One of the biggest physical problems in modern society is resistance. Not political or social resistance, mind you, but electrical […]
