Quantum Search for the Origin of Time Reveals No Distinction Between Past and Future

Physics, Quantum Physics /

In search of the source of time, University of Surrey physicists Thomas Guff, Chintalpati Umashankar Shastry, and Andrea Rocco examined what they likened to a hot quantum bathtub beneath the endless stretch of eternity. No matter how hard we try, we can’t remember what will happen tomorrow—and physicists still don’t know why. They didn’t find […]

Yellowstone’s Hot Springs May Reveal Clues About Earth’s Early Oxygen Use

Earth Science, Environmental Science /

Recent research from Montana State University suggests that microbial life in Yellowstone’s Lower Geyser Basin could provide insight into the evolution of how life adapted to use oxygen. The microorganisms living in the Octopus and Conch Springs thrive in kelp-like, gelatinous structures known as “streamers,” which move rapidly in the superheated waters around 88°C (190°F).
