A Unified Theory of Randomness
...a result of Schramm’s work, there were a lot of things in physics they’d known to be true in their physics way that suddenly entered the realm of things we...
Time’s (Almost) Reversible Arrow
...time’s arrow would be embedded in the fundamental laws of physics. But the opposite is true. If you could take a movie of subatomic events, you’d find that the backward-in-time...
String Theory Meets Loop Quantum Gravity
...all known particles have yet-undiscovered partners. Supersymmetry isn’t a feature of LQG. These and other differences have split the theoretical physics community into deeply divergent camps. “Conferences have segregated,” said...
New Measurement Deepens Proton Puzzle
...times as heavy but otherwise identical. It’s as if the proton tightens its belt in the muon’s presence. And yet, according to the reigning theory of particle physics, the proton...
A Seeker of Dark Matter’s Hidden Light
...was introduced to a new young professor in the astrophysics department named Doug Finkbeiner. And Doug at that time was looking for a student with some particle physics training. I...
Robbert Dijkgraaf on Exploring Quantum Reality
...at the physics books and I’m not burdened in any way that this is my career.” And I remember picking up a few books of physics, well, that’s so wonderful,...
Search Escalates for Key to Why Matter Exists
...it as Selenium-76. The chemical decay could present a solution to one of the biggest mysteries in physics: why there is something rather than nothing in the universe. Among the...
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...
‘Penguin’ Anomaly Hints at Missing Particles
...governed particle physics for 40 years. “What we find is that this anomaly has persisted,” said Guy Wilkinson, a physicist at the University of Oxford and the spokesperson for the...
