For every proton, there were over a billion others that annihilated away with an antimatter counterpart. So where did all that energy go?

Successful alpha leadership is more about caring and healing than dog-eat-dog supremacy.
The Multiverse fuels some of the 21st century’s best fiction stories. But its supporting pillars are on extremely stable scientific footing.
All the things that surround and compose us didn’t always exist. But describing their origin depends on what ‘nothing’ means.
There is nothing more important to science than its ability to prove ideas wrong.
Billions of years ago, the ever-increasing entropy must’ve been much lower: the past hypothesis. Here’s how cosmic inflation solves it.
This is especially true for three key groups.
Like Dua Lipa, he had to create new rules.
Whether you’re a leader looking to ramp up team output or just trying to improve your skill set, hard work alone is not enough.
Dive into a realm where time, space, and even reality itself are put into question.
It’s literally the one and only trick that separates top-notch physicists from crackpots, dropouts, and those who can’t cut the mustard.
A next-generation LHC++ could cost $100 billion. Here’s why such a machine could end up being a massive waste of money.
There are a wide variety of theoretical studies that call our Standard Model of cosmology into question. Here’s what they really mean.
From the Big Bang to dark energy, knowledge of the cosmos has sped up in the past century — but big questions linger.
Whenever someone waxes poetic about terraforming alien worlds, it’s worth taking a moment to consider the ethical implications of the proposal.
There are a few clues that the Universe isn’t completely adding up. Even so, the standard model of cosmology holds up stronger than ever.
Though ultimately incorrect, the ancient Greek philosophers blazed a conceptual trail for humankind to understand the nature of reality.
The farther away they get, the smaller distant galaxies look. But only up to a point, and beyond that, they appear larger again. Here’s how.
There’s a quantum limit to how precisely anything can be measured. By squeezing light, LIGO has now surpassed all previous limitations.
When you don’t have enough clues to bring your detective story to a close, you should expect that your educated guesses will all be wrong.
In the quest to measure how antimatter falls, the possibility that it fell “up” provided hope for warp drive. Here’s how it all fell apart.
Is LK-99 truly a room temperature superconductor? These 4 tests, none of which have yet been passed, will separate fact from fiction.
The Universe isn’t just expanding, the expansion is also accelerating. If that’s true, how will the Milky Way and Andromeda eventually merge?
Two very different ideas, wormholes and quantum entanglement, might be fundamentally related. What would “ER = EPR” mean for our Universe?
There’s a big difference between the notions of ‘false vacuum’ and ‘true vacuum’ states. Here’s why we don’t want to live in the former.
Energy balance is the greatest arbiter of weight gain. Embrace the “oinker diet.”
For some reason, when we talk about the age of stars, galaxies, and the Universe, we use “years” to measure time. Can we do better?
The laws of physics don’t prefer matter over antimatter. So how can we be certain that distant stars & galaxies aren’t made of antimatter?
From physics and alchemy to theology and eschatology, Isaac Newton’s research was rooted in a personal pursuit of the Divine.
All of the matter and radiation we measure today originated in a hot Big Bang long ago. The Universe was never empty, not even before that.
