Three thought experiments involving “demons” have haunted physics for centuries. What should we make of them today?
Most of us first hear about the irrational number π (pi)—rounded off as 3.14, with an infinite number of decimal digits—in ...
It is something like the "Holy Grail" of physics: unifying particle physics and gravitation. The world of tiny particles is ...
Even worse, the orbit of Mars is elliptical (think of a slight oval rather than a perfect circle), which means that sometimes ...
Dreaming of visiting other stars? The universe has built in walls we cannot break. This video confronts the harsh physics ...
If you're going to Mars you'd best take along a jar of anti-aging cream because while you're there you're going to age faster ...
Scientists are testing a novel way to measure cosmic expansion using time delays in gravitationally lensed quasars. Their ...
IISc researchers reveal connections between Ramanujan's pi formulae and modern high-energy physics, enhancing calculations in turbulence and black hole theories.
Ramanujan's pi-computing machinery exactly mirrors the necessary structure in modern physical theories (LCFTs).
Tracking the first astronauts’ visit to Mars won’t be as simple as watching a clock or marking days off of a calendar. Thanks ...
New measurements using gravitational lensing suggest the universe’s current expansion rate does not agree with signals from ...
TU Wien researchers have uncovered a quantum twist to the paths particles take through spacetime — one that could finally ...
