A century later, the quantum the land is still incredibly productive and stubborn a miracle. Its equations are parallel laser devices and LEDsguide the MRI scanner, and underwrite the transistors that heat up our phones, yet leave us confused as to what numbers it really tells us about the truth. The theory predicts about amazing … Read more
A photon from a star billions of light-years away takes no time to reach a telescope. It’s not too little time. There is nothing. That result is not a measured or poetic way of speaking. It comes directly from the mathematics of special relativity, and it points to another strange thing about the nature of … Read more
Elliot McGucken These photos of 70-foot-tall cones of light shining in the California desert may look pretty, but they have a surface and actually represent some interesting ideas about the evolution of space-time. Dr. Elliot McGucken is a nationally recognized photographer and Ph.D. a physicist. He likes to combine his two passions, which he believes … Read more
Six Timepix chips developed at CERN will measure the radiation environment in the spacecraft that will orbit the Moon during NASA’s Artemis II mission. At 00:35 CEST today, the mission of Artemis II successfully began, marking the first manned trip to the Moon since 1972. During their ten-day journey in the Orion spacecraft, the four … Read more
For more than three hundred years, Amonons first law has been one of the most reliable principles of physics. Written by the French physicist Guillaume Amontons in his 1699 book De la résistance causée dans les machines, the law states that the force of friction is directly proportional to the applied load, which means that … Read more

“Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may receive commissions or other income from these links.” Here’s what you’ll learn by reading this story: Today, scientists do not find “laws” but rather perfect theories, they always know that there is more to learn. A new study shows why the centuries-old “laws” need to be changed, as the 300-year-old … Read more
A Rutgers astronomer is helping to investigate a mysterious cosmic phenomenon that has left astronomers searching for answers. At the heart of this mystery is an unusually powerful explosion in space that lasted longer than anything ever seen. NASA has announced that researchers using the James Webb Space Telescope have observed GRB 250702B, a long … Read more
