What if space travel didn’t actually require that much travel, relatively speaking? What if we only needed to make it to the center of our galaxy in order hitch a ride through a wormhole? That’s just one possibility being brought up by new research published in Annals of Physics. Based on a new theoretical approach to dark […]
If the idea of parallel universes blow your mind, then you might want to sit down while you read about this new mind-bending scientific theory: Scientists are proposing that not only are parallel universes real, but they are constantly interacting with each other. The “Many-Interacting Worlds” theory, by Griffith University scientists Howard Wiseman and Dr […]
When Christopher Nolan (Batman trilogy) asked a theoretical physicist to do the effects for his new film, Interstellar, neither of them expected they’d actually progress science at the same time. Kip Thorne worked with a team for over a year to create the most realistic Black Hole ever seen in cinema. He started by putting together an […]
Stephen Hawking has joined the chorus of physicists that believe the so-called “God Particle” has the potential to destroy the universe. Higgs boson is an elementary particle which gives everything in the universe mass. It’s crucial to the existence of everything. “The Higgs potential has the worrisome feature that it might become metastable at energies […]
Some physicists now believe that on an incredibly tiny scale 100 billion billion times smaller than a proton, everything may be moving. If this is true, then no particle could ever truly be located, as it is constantly in more than one place on an infinitesimal level. This means that the universe could be made up of […]
Director James Marsh‘s new film The Theory Of Everything depicts the early life of scientist Stephen Hawking, played by Tony award winning actor Eddie Redmayne. The biopic spans many years of Hawking’s life, from his days as a student seeking his PhD in Physics and his diagnosis with ALS and fatal prognosis to his global recognition. It’s based […]
Art as science as art as science as art: it’s a never ending cycle of mind-blowing. Science as Art is an annual competition hosted by the Materials Research Society that asks participants to showcase their creative sides by manipulating microscopic nanostructures to take on artistic forms, then digitally enhancing the results. This year’s first place winners include […]
