Singularities frustrate our understanding. But behind every singularity in physics hides a secret door to a new understanding of the world.
For the first time, light that comes from behind a black hole has been spotted.
Some constants, like the speed of light, exist with no underlying explanation. How many “fundamental constants” does our Universe require?
It’s the origin of our entire observable Universe, but it’s still not the very beginning of everything.
“To take this in, you need to ride inside the mathematical symbols.”
Neuroscience supports the notion that an escape from conventional perspectives can be a gateway to spectacular insights.
“Even with my training, I still got insights from the book’s descriptions. That’s how good Carroll is at explaining physics.”
An average undergraduate student in physics is better than the AI.
If the past is any guide, things are going to take off quickly.
Realizing that matter and energy are quantized is important, but quantum particles aren’t the full story; quantum fields are needed, too.
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.
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.
The hyperloop would be a great idea for a completely flat planet. With topography and infrastructure, it’s a very different story.
Some microbes can withstand Earth’s most inhospitable corners, hinting that life may be able to survive similarly extreme conditions on other worlds.
Once water gets more than about 200 feet deep, building on the sea floor is out of the question.
Two types of leaves for two different drastic weather conditions.
Organic molecules can be produced by living or non-living systems. But the recent findings are very intriguing.
Everything is made of matter, not antimatter, including black holes. If antimatter black holes existed, what would they do?
Always look on the bright side of death.
Astronomers used supercomputers and an international network of antennas to create the stunning map.
But it’s still challenging to build a 22,000-mile elevator.
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.
“When you feel the isolation setting in at times, you have to reframe your mindset.”
Life in the supremely vast cosmos is incredibly rare. We need a new vision for our living planet and for ourselves.
It could make enough drinking water for a family of four.
The Big Bang is commonly misunderstood, warping our understanding about the Universe’s size and shape.
