www.washingtonpost.com Editor’s note: An earlier version of this story mischaracterized the statement North Carolina State University astrophysicist Katie Mack made to the Verge about why an astrophysicist might publish a theory he doesn’t believe to be true. It has been corrected. CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — Before he started the whole alien spaceship thing last year, the chairman of […]
Scientists accelerated the update of a model of Earth’s fluctuating magnetic field, which is needed to keep navigational systems functioning. Many wondered what’s happening inside the planet’s core. the New York Times – By Shannon Hall The north magnetic pole is restless. Distinct from the geographic North Pole, where all the lines of longitude

Last year, Pieter van Dokkum et al., Nature volume 555, p 629–632 (29 March 2018), reported absence of DM in a certain galaxy. Since result upsets the DM paradigm, the unexpected discovery received significant amount of BACKLASH, and even the hype the paper received drew some criticism. Now van Dokkum et al. report the discovery

We draw systematic parallels between the measurement problem in quantum mechanics and the information loss problem in black holes. Then we proceed to propose a solution of the former along the lines of the solution of the latter which is based on the holographic gauge/gravity duality. The proposed solution is based on 1) the quantum

By Daniel Cossins YOU may have heard that physics is in crisis. We were told that it would reveal the secrets to the origin of the universe and the fundamental nature of reality. Stephen Hawking even told us that it would “show us the mind of God“. But the big discoveries have dried up. Yes,

www.independent.co.uk Google’s latest Doodle celebrates the life of Lev Landau, a Soviet physicist who made pioneering contributions to many areas of theoretical physics and was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1962 for his work in the field of superfluidity. The Soviet researcher was born in Azerbaijan on 22 January 1908 and his brilliance at mathematics and science was evident at an
