Visions of Future Physics
...in particle physics, questioning whether its small particle physics community can grow quickly enough over the next two decades to run a project so enormous and complex, even with the...
Einstein’s Parable of Quantum Insanity
...reality, is the very model of Einstein Sanity. With that triumph in mind, let us return to the apparent Einstein Insanity of quantum physics. Might that difficulty likewise hint at...
A Tricky Path to Quantum-Safe Encryption
...years. By exploiting the probabilistic rules of quantum physics, the devices could decrypt most of the world’s “secure” data, from NSA secrets to bank records to email passwords. Aware of...
A Life in Games
...students in math, physics and computer science, as well as for many people with jobs that provided access to idling mainframe computers. A U.S. military report estimated that the workplace...
The Case for Complex Dark Matter
...my time on is figuring out the cleanest and clearest cases for determining what comes from the physics of dark matter versus the physics of star formation and galaxy formation....
Theories of Everything, Mapped
...be answered in pursuit of the theory of everything. Our map of the frontier of fundamental physics, built by the interactive developer Emily Fuhrman, weights questions roughly according to their...
Famous Fluid Equations Are Incomplete
...mathematical universe to the real one. Hilbert’s sixth problem called upon researchers to axiomatize the laws of physics — that is, rigorously construct them from a basic set of starting...
The New Laws of Explosive Networks
...they break — has arisen from the physics of coffee. Researchers usually think of network connectivity as happening in a slow, continuous manner, similar to the way water moves through...
Paradoxical Crystal Baffles Physicists
...“On the basis of established wisdoms this cannot possibly happen, and henceforth completely new physics should be at work.” It is too soon to tell what, if anything, this “new...
