Proposed over 2000 years ago by Democritus, the word atom literally means uncuttable. Revived in 1803, today's "atoms" can indeed be split.
Since even before Einstein, physicists have sought a theory of everything to explain the Universe. Can positive geometry lead us there?
When you don't have enough clues to bring your detective story to a close, you should expect that your educated guesses will all be wrong.
NASA's 1958 charter's top priority was, "the expansion of human knowledge of phenomena in the atmosphere and space." Is this how it ends?
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.
At the end of July, hundreds of scientists convened to plan NASA's upcoming astrophysics flagship mission. Will the US allow it to happen?
The conversation you're having with an LLM about groundbreaking new ideas in theoretical physics is completely meritless. Here's why.
Realizing that matter and energy are quantized is important, but quantum particles aren't the full story; quantum fields are needed, too.
From high school through the professional ranks, physicists still take incredible lessons away from Newton's second law.
No matter what it is that we discover about reality, the fact that reality itself can be understood remains the most amazing fact of all.
