Where Some See Strings, She Sees a Space-Time Made of Fractals
...significant strides toward showing that the quantum laws likely do stop changing around the Planck scale, just as Weinberg suspected. She has also connected Planck-scale physics with physics at scales...
Carlo Rovelli’s Radical Perspective on Reality
...a best-selling author of popular science books, including Seven Brief Lessons on Physics, which has sold more than 2 million copies worldwide — placing him in a limelight he’s still...
How Scientists Are Tackling the Tricky Task of Solar Cycle Prediction
...physics-based methods that are similar to complex climate prediction models. These computer simulations use fluid dynamics and electromagnetism to re-create solar physics; scientists then feed in observational data to anticipate...
Questioning Truth, Reality and the Role of Science
...it? Dismissive claims by famous physicists that philosophy is either a useless intellectual exercise, or not on a par with physics because of being incapable of progress, seem to start...
A Quantum Trick Implied Eternal Stability. Now the Idea May Be Falling Apart.
...disorder may not be so easily overcome. It is a truth of both physics and everyday experience that things fall apart. Ice melts. Buildings crumble. Any object, if you wait...
A Thermometer for Measuring Quantumness
...physics that seems easy to grasp, it’s the second law of thermodynamics: Heat flows spontaneously from hotter bodies to colder ones. But now, gently and almost casually, Alexssandre de Oliveira...
Can Space-Time Be Saved?
Curious connections between physics and math suggest to Latham Boyle that space-time may survive the jump to the next theory of reality. Most of today’s leading theoretical physicists have a...
How Can Some Infinities Be Bigger Than Others?
...am I right, that you were once trained in the world of physics? Moore (02:02): Yeah, it was a physics double major with math, when I was an undergraduate. I...
A Mathematician Who Fled to Freedom but Still Stares Down Doubts
...liked physics. I did well in my physics classes, but never felt like I gained an intuitive understanding of everyday physical events. But when I started working with my Ph.D....
