Theoretical Physics

For the first time, researchers from the Structured Light Laboratory (School of Physics) at the University of the Witwatersrand in South Africa, led by Professor Andrew Forbes, collaborated with string theorist Robert de Mello Koch from Huzhou University in China (formerly from Wits University). They demonstrated the remarkable feat of perturbing pairs of quantum entangled

Recently, we ran a piece including the views of well-known science writer John Horgan who talked about a bizarre element of quantum physics confirmed by recent experiments– that it appears as if there´s no knowledge apart from observers’ minds. Theoretical physicist Sabine Hossenfelder is decidedly not happy with that approach:” Physicists have revealed that objective

However, we would bet most people do not think that line applies to the actual rules of the universe itself. As it turns out, however, researchers at Microsoft, scientists at Brown University, and one professional who consulted for Disney’s “Wrinkle in Time” believe the laws of physics may actually be slowly changing, complicating our quest

The dead cores of 2 stars collided 130 million yrs earlier in a galaxy somewhat far away. The crash was so extreme that it originated a wrinkle in space-time– a gravitational wave. That gravitational wave and also the light from the stellar explosion traveled together throughout the cosmos. They arrived at Earth at the same

Theoretical predictions move closer to experimental outcomes, but questions stay concerning possible gaps in the standard model of particle physics. The muon’s mysteries still leave physicists mesmerized. Last year, an experiment suggested that the fundamental particle had inexplicably strong magnetism, possibly breaking a decades-long streak of triumphs for the leading theory of particle physics, known
