AI Comes Up With Bizarre Physics Experiments. But They Work.
...fabric coming from the faraway collision of a pair of black holes. Rana Adhikari, a physicist at the California Institute of Technology, led the detector optimization team in the mid-2000s....
A New Geometry for Einstein’s Theory of Relativity
...and how planets, stars and galaxies move. It tells us that the universe is expanding, and it predicted the existence of both black holes and gravitational waves a century before...
Is Gravity Just Entropy Rising? Long-Shot Idea Gets Another Look.
...Entropy quantifies this growth of disorder. Indeed, when physicists used quantum mechanics to study what happens in the distorted space-time around a black hole, they find that black holes give...
Singularities in Space-Time Prove Hard to Kill
...cosmos and the hearts of black holes would truly mark edges of the map where clocks can’t tick and space stops. “Inside of black holes, I am positive there is...
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...
