Dark Energy May Be Incompatible With String Theory
...awoke in Vienna and groggily scrolled through an online repository of newly posted physics papers. One title startled him into full consciousness. The paper, by the prominent string theorist Cumrun...
Joe Polchinski’s Restless Pursuit of Quantum Gravity
...or out — in clearing a path to inspiration. As a young professor at Harvard University in 1997, Juan Maldacena reshaped fundamental physics with the discovery that, as he put...
Closed Loophole Confirms the Unreality of the Quantum World
...for anti-realism at the level of the quantum. But in May, Rafael Chaves and colleagues at the International Institute of Physics in Natal, Brazil, found a loophole. They showed that...

Star-Swallowing Black Holes Reveal Secrets in Exotic Light Shows
...of astrophysicists proposed a new theoretical model for how TDEs work. The model can explain why different TDEs can appear to behave differently, even though the underlying physics is presumably...
