Ask Ethan: Could “positive geometry” unlock the theory of everything?
Since even before Einstein, physicists have sought a theory of everything to explain the Universe. Can positive geometry lead us there?

The Universe is not the same forward and backward in time
Whether you run the clock forward or backward, most of us expect the laws of physics to be the same. A 2012 experiment showed otherwise.
