Why Gravity Is Not Like the Other Forces
...and black holes: Black holes are the reason it’s difficult to combine gravity with quantum mechanics. Black holes can only be a consequence of gravity because gravity is the only...
Pondering the Bits That Build Space-Time and Brains
...life. We argued that the collection of ways in which black holes can arrange the information they contain is like this library. Like the books, the black hole’s “microstates” consist...
The Surprising Origins of Life’s Complexity
...comparing the ring in fungi to the ring in animals, the researchers have reconstructed its evolution. The ancestral ring had two types of protein. The black squares, triangles and circles...
Joint Dust Analysis Deflates Big Bang Signal
...shrinks to a point. The theoretical arguments for why it should bounce strike most experts as highly speculative. And the non-bounciness of black holes suggests it would not do so....
In LHC’s Shadow, America’s Collider Awakens
...the plasma’s peculiar mathematical relationship to black holes, have revealed that it is an almost “perfect” liquid, possessing the lowest viscosity (or internal friction) allowed by quantum physics. A monitor...
Mathematicians Chase Moonshine’s Shadow
...should offer a way to construct a model of three-dimensional quantum gravity, in which 194 natural categories of elements in the monster group correspond to 194 classes of black holes....
A Private View of Quantum Reality
...space travel would be difficult because of the great distances between stars. How do you get around this? I learned about John Wheeler and black holes and wormholes, and that...
A Fight for the Soul of Science
...interconnections,” as Dawid has termed them, in a paper read in Munich in his absence. String theory explains the entropy of black holes, for example, and, in a surprising discovery...
A Cosmic Burst Repeats, Deepening a Mystery
...galaxy to exploding stars, mergers of charged black holes, white holes, evaporating black holes, oscillating primordial cosmic strings, and even aliens sailing through the cosmos using extragalactic light sails. For...
