Can Quantum Gravity Be Created in the Lab?
...is one of the biggest unresolved and challenging problems in physics, as it seeks to reconcile quantum mechanics, which governs the microscopic world, and general relativity, which describes the macroscopic...
Why Everything in the Universe Turns More Complex
...In other words, in this view there’s a kind of physics of evolution — and it’s a kind of physics we know about already. The Biosphere Creates Its Own Possibilities...
How Did Multicellular Life Evolve?
...biology with John Tyler Bonner. RATCLIFF: That’s really cool. STROGATZ: He was a very sweet man too. And you know what else, he had a lot of interest in physics,...
Is Dark Energy Getting Weaker? New Evidence Strengthens the Case.
...finding, presented today at the Global Physics Summit in Anaheim, California, aligns with that of a second group of cosmologists, the 400-strong Dark Energy Survey (DES). Having also observed a...
‘Next-Level’ Chaos Traces the True Limit of Predictability
...mathematics and computer science. But he never forgot the pinball machine, and how computer science put limits on the machine’s physics. He wondered whether undecidability touched any physics problems that...
The Physicist Working to Build Science-Literate AI
By training machine learning models with examples of basic science, Miles Cranmer hopes to push the pace of scientific discovery forward. Physics dazzled Miles Cranmer from an early age. His...
How Hans Bethe Stumbled Upon Perfect Quantum Theories
...1980s. Now few areas of physics remain untouched by Bethe’s nearly century-old insight. “Its importance has continued growing to this day,” said Charlotte Kristjansen, a professor at the Niels Bohr...
How Noether’s Theorem Revolutionized Physics
Emmy Noether showed that fundamental physical laws are just a consequence of simple symmetries. A century later, her insights continue to shape physics. In the fall of 1915, the foundations...
The Physicist Decoding the Nonbinary Nature of the Subatomic World
...many of their peers. Many discoveries in physics flow from theory to experiment. Albert Einstein theorized that mass bends the fabric of space-time, and then Arthur Eddington observed the effects...
