Priya Natarajan on Black Holes and Mapping the Universe
...you know, like, a very sort of strong sense of being grounded in physics and foundations of physics and mathematics. And, so, I often come up with a diagram, like,...
Tiny Tests Seek the Universe’s Big Mysteries
...of exotic physics that could be visible at scales just below the thickness of a dollar bill — provided you build a clever-enough experiment, one small enough to fit on...
Isadore Singer Transcended Mathematical Boundaries
...well as those between mathematics and quantum physics. He pursued deep questions and inspired others in his original research, wide-ranging lectures, mentoring of young researchers and advocacy in the public...
Quantum Complexity Shows How to Escape Hawking’s Black Hole Paradox
...foundations of most modern theories, including the celebrated Standard Model of particle physics. Physicists expect semiclassical physics to falter when gravity grows intense, as it does at the still-inscrutable center...
The S-Matrix Is the Oracle Physicists Turn To in Times of Crisis
...results. These infinities led Heisenberg to distrust the way quantum physics was depicting reality, and to expect that a revolutionary new theory would eventually overthrow particle physics and fix the...
Physicists Rewrite the Fundamental Law That Leads to Disorder
...of what will probably happen. “We like laws of physics to be exact,” said the physicist Chiara Marletto of the University of Oxford. Can the second law be tightened up...
In New Paradox, Black Holes Appear to Evade Heat Death
...physicists. It was an early example of how everyday physics connects to the grandest themes in cosmology. Drop ice cubes into a glass of water, and you create a situation...
Explorers Find Passage to Earth’s Dark Age
...the group was in Santa Barbara for the annual Cooperative Institute for Dynamic Earth Research (CIDER) workshop at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics. Each summer, a rotating cast of...
Pondering the Bits That Build Space-Time and Brains
...the information content of various systems. A playful polymath who is prone to leaping from physics to Proust in mid-conversation, Balasubramanian directs an entire second research group at Penn that...
