Immortality Is Possible—We Just Have to Overcome One Stubborn Law of Physics Our bodies naturally experience more and more cellular chaos over time. What if we could stop it? BY SUSAN LAHEY PUBLISHED: APR 5, 2024 ----- “So why is the second law of thermodynamics the probable cause of aging? It...

Black holes and galaxies formations. ----- " . . . supermassive black holes with the mass of millions or billions of Suns are assumed to reside in the cores of most galaxies, and they play a key role in current models of how galaxies have formed over the past billions of years."...

CERN Wants to Build a Bigger, Badder Particle Collider /By: John Perritano/ https://science.howstuffworks.com/cern-wants-to-build-bigger-badder-particle-collider.htm ----- Cern aims to build €22bn collider to unlock secrets of universe. The first accelerator based on the principle of multiple...

13 March 2024. Sleeping black hole is way more massive than it should be The James Webb Space Telescope has found an unusual galaxy in the early universe with a black hole almost half the mass of the galaxy itself, raising questions about how it formed /By Jonathan O’Callaghan/ ------ A black...

What Physicists Have Been Missing An exciting new theory reconciles gravity and quantum physics. I think it’s wrong. But I may be too. BY SABINE HOSSENFELDER February 2, 2024 ------- But today, the foundations of physics are a sleepy place. We’re still chewing on the same problems that we had a...

— NOVEMBER 18, 2019 Is the universe controlled by gigantic structures? The idea that celestial objects exist within utterly immense cosmic structures is becoming inescapable. / Robby Berman / ----- New findings in astronomy are making some astronomers doubt our basic model of the universe...

What is Dark Energy? Inside our accelerating, expanding Universe FEB 05, 2024. Chelsea Gohd. What Exactly is Dark Energy? Right now, dark energy is just the name that astronomers gave to the mysterious "something" that is causing the universe to expand at an accelerated rate. Dark energy has...

8 August 2023. From time crystals to wormholes: When is a quantum simulation real? Physicists are using quantum computers to conjure various exotic phenomena and are claiming that their creations are truly real. The work is forcing us to ask challenging questions about the nature of quantum...

July 20th, 2023. Does Einstein’s Theory of Special Relativity Suggest That There Is an Afterlife?: A Theoretical Physicist Explains --- It all began, she [Sabine Hossenfelder] says, when a young man posed to her the following question: “A shaman told me that my grandmother is still alive...

13 July 2023. The minuscule fluctuations of seemingly empty space can be controlled just enough to make the building blocks of a new type of computer. /By Karmela Padavic-Callaghan/ ---- Empty space is not actually empty – it is filled with tiny flickers of quantum fields. Boosting those...

Archimedes and Modern Science ----- "Give me a lever long enough and a fulcrum on which to place it, and I shall move the world." /Archimedes/ -- Science is the logical exposition of a system. Science is systematized knowledge. Science without a system is chaos. Therefore, "the Standard Model...

HARD SCIENCE — MARCH 16, 2023 At light speed, Einstein’s equations break down and nothing makes sense --- The relationship of light to time is nonintuitive. Mathematical limits allow us to figure out what happens to photons at the exact speed of light where Einstein’s equations break down. At...

Quantum Physics Lets Researchers See "Things" Without Looking At Them on 5/24/2023 in Physics, Science As a general rule, if you want sight, you need light. You’re only reading this right now thanks to the light from your screen being beamed onto your retinas, converted into electrical signals...

— NOVEMBER 22, 2022 Brain experiment suggests that consciousness relies on quantum entanglement Maybe the brain isn't "classical" after all. Credit: Annelisa Leinbach, local_doctor / Adobe Stock KEY TAKEAWAYS Most neuroscientists believe that the brain operates in a classical manner. However, if...

6 Times Quantum Physics Blew Our Minds in 2022 Quantum telepathy, laser-based time crystals, a glow from empty space and an “unreal” universe—these are the most awesome (and awfully hard to understand) results from the subatomic realm we encountered in 2022 By Lee Billings on December 19, 2022...

Quantum physics and logic. --- By idea, a good scientific theory must have three components: arena, stuff and a set of physics laws. In quantum theory these three components look strange: 1- the arena is really unknown, an math imaginary ''an absolute four-dimensional spacetime'' 2 - the stuff...

Cosmology. About Dark energy Dark energy is the Energy of the Cosmic Vacuum, because IT is the source of "virtual particles", which (due to entropy and quantum fluctuations) created the entire material world. About dark matter. Dark matter exists in the Cosmic Vacuum at a temperature of about...

Seeing and somethingness. 3 October 2022 /By Nicholas Humphreyis emeritus professor of psychology/ -------- /Seeing and Blindsight/ Blindsight is now a well-established clinical phenomenon. When first discovered, it seemed theoretically shocking. No one had expected there could possibly be...
