The Fuzzball Fix for a Black Hole Paradox
...identified three central concepts in physics that could not all simultaneously be true around the event horizon of a black hole. One must be abandoned to resolve this so-called firewall...
Dark Energy May Be Weakening, Major Astrophysics Study Finds
...slightly weakening with time. It’s a finding that has the potential to shake the foundations of physics. “If true, it would be the first real clue we have gotten about...
Have Physicists Discovered a New Boson?
In 2012, the world’s biggest supercollider discovered the Higgs boson, completing the Standard Model of particle physics. Now a team of little-known Hungarian physicists claim to have found a new,...
‘Last Hope’ Experiment Finds Evidence for Unknown Particles
...particle physics,” said Stöckinger. The Fermilab g-2 experiment is “our last hope of an experiment which really proves the existence of physics beyond the Standard Model,” he said. If it...
How Will the Universe End?
...it happen? (01:00) This isn’t the makings of a superhero movie. This is the type of theoretical physics that Dr. Katie Mack thinks about a lot. Dr. Mack is a...

How Is Science Even Possible?
...and physics is so powerful in its explanations makes another assumption. That assumption is reductionism. This goes back to another quote of another founder of modern physics, Paul Dirac, who...
‘Metaphysical Experiments’ Probe Our Hidden Assumptions About Reality
...where previous work in physics let its metaphysics go unacknowledged, in Bell’s work the two were truly and explicitly inseparable. The theorem was not about any particular theory of physics....
