A New Idea for How to Assemble Life
...unlikely things, such as you and me, even exist at all. And it seeks that explanation not, in the usual manner of physics, in timeless physical laws, but in a...
Is Perpetual Motion Possible at the Quantum Level?
...physics at Stanford University. In 2021, she received the New Horizons in Physics Prize from the Breakthrough Prize Foundation for her work on non-equilibrium quantum matter, including time crystals. She...
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 New Kind of Symmetry Shakes Up Physics
...physics, researchers are looking to higher symmetries to assist with one of the biggest open questions of all: what principles organize physics beyond the Standard Model. “I want to get...
The Electron Is So Round That It’s Ruling Out Potential New Particles
...important for new physics.” Poaching Elephants The Standard Model of Particle Physics is our best roster of all the particles that exist in the universe’s zoo. The theory has held...
How to Tame the Endless Infinities Hiding in the Heart of Particle Physics
How to Tame the Infinities Hiding in the Heart of Particle Physics In the math of particle physics, every calculation should result in infinity. Physicists get around this by just...
Wormhole Experiment Called Into Question
...the work was one of the hotter trends in modern physics, holography. Holography involves the study of profound relationships known as dualities. On their face, dual systems look completely different....
New Proof Distinguishes Mysterious and Powerful ‘Modular Forms’
Using “refreshingly old” tools, mathematicians resolved a 50-year-old conjecture about how to categorize important functions called modular forms, with consequences for number theory and theoretical physics. In a new proof,...
Strange Solar Gamma Rays Discovered at Even Higher Energies
...dynamics of the cosmic particles winding around them. Beyond solving the gamma-ray mystery, researchers think that the HAWC measurements may lead to broader insights into solar and particle physics. The...
