During the mid- to late-twentieth century, quantum physicists picked apart the unified theory of physics that Einstein’s theory of relativity offered. The physics of the large was governed by gravity, ...
New research suggests researchers should start by comparing parameters other than time.
We know how to derive most fundamental constants from conditions of the universe, models This is an accurate description of physics as a whole, but wildly untrue in particle physics. There are 25 ...
This morning on BBC Radio 4, the mathematician Roger Penrose, physicist Basil Hiley, and philosopher Simon Saunders had a lively discussion about the “measurement problem in physics” with broadcaster ...
(via PBS Space Time) The mystery of what happens when we go from a superposition to a definite state is known as the Measurement Problem, and it’s arguably the most mysterious outstanding problem in ...
Scientists working on Fermilab's Muon g-2 experiment released the world's most precise measurement yet of the magnetic moment of the muon, bringing particle physics closer to the ultimate showdown ...
We have known for several decades that the universe is expanding. Scientists use multiple techniques to measure the present-day expansion rate of the universe, known as the Hubble constant. These ...
Two independent lines of evidence from the world’s most powerful particle experiments are converging on the same ...
