The High Cost of Quantum Randomness Is Dropping
...“We can [now] do these quantum-advantage experiments using much more efficient resources.” The proof could also provide physicists with a new method for studying black holes. These complicated objects function...
How Did Multicellular Life Evolve?
...that was just remarkable. STROGATZ: But, so, I think of you thinking more about, like, black holes, space time, astrophysical stuff, but why are you thinking about this? LEVIN: Because...
New Conversations, Deep Questions, Bold Ideas in Season Four of ‘The Joy of Why’
...or black holes or quantum field theory and extra dimensions. But these are all very mathematical subjects. And I marvel that we can follow the math into making physical discoveries....
The ‘Elegant’ Math Model That Could Help Rescue Coral Reefs
...starfish. The ocean was a home, but in school, Llabrés preferred physics and math. In Barcelona for college, she dove into the theoretical mysteries of black holes and quantum gravity....
New Maps of the Bizarre, Chaotic Space-Time Inside Black Holes
...Einstein’s general theory of relativity, which is used to describe the gravity of black holes, uses a single field equation to explain how space curves and matter moves. But that...
How Hans Bethe Stumbled Upon Perfect Quantum Theories
...— lets them precisely predict the otherwise unknowable. And they have marveled at how those stars occasionally do align, allowing for perfect predictions of ice, protons, black holes and more....
How Will We Know We’re Not Alone?
...is unraveling secrets of black holes, early galaxies. So a dedicated telescope that’s specifically designed to find signs of life in the atmosphere of these small rocky planets is our...
The Year in Physics
...little red dots, grape-like clusters, shockingly big young black holes: Astrophysicists are reveling in the “beautiful confusion” of that formative epoch of cosmic history. The Webb telescope also enabled a...
What Is Entropy? A Measure of Just How Little We Really Know.
...what entropy means in black holes. “The observational entropy framework provides much more clarity,” said Philipp Strasberg, a physicist at the Autonomous University of Barcelona, who recently included it in...
