Quantum Mechanics
Nearly 100 years after being theorized, the strange behavior of the neutrino still mystifies us. They could be even stranger than we know.

"Could black holes be the key to a quantum theory of gravity, a deeper theory of how reality, of how space and time works? Well, I think so."
All of the matter that we measure today originated in the hot Big Bang. But even before that, and far into the future, it'll never be empty.
The Holy Grail of physics is a Theory of Everything: where a single equation describes the whole Universe. But maybe there simply isn't one?
Throughout history, "free energy" has been a scammer's game, such as perpetual motion. But with zero-point energy, is it actually possible?
There could be variables beyond the ones we've identified and know how to measure. But they can't get rid of quantum weirdness.
Parallel universes are among the most profound notions in all of quantum physics. It's a compelling and fascinating idea, but is it true?
Amplifying the energy within a laser, over and over, won't get you an infinite amount of energy. There's a fundamental limit due to physics.

“An equation, perhaps no more than one inch long, that would allow us to, quote, 'Read the mind of God.'”
The Big Bang was hot, dense, uniform, and filled with matter and energy. Before that? There was nothing. Here's how that's possible.
Realizing that matter and energy are quantized is important, but quantum particles aren't the full story; quantum fields are needed, too.
With the right material at the right temperature and a magnetic track, physics really does allow perpetual motion without energy loss.
