Here’s a TED talk you must watch: Brian Greene explains why there is a multiverse, the theory that we live in one of many different universes. All to answer this question: Why do we humans find ourselves existing in this universe?
Until now, electrons have been regarded as elementary particles — which means that scientists thought they had no component parts or substructure. But, for the first time, electrons have been observed decaying into two separate parts — causing physicists to rethink what they know about the particles.
It’s time to spend another lethargic Tuesday morning wrapping your head around Minute Physics’ latest crash course in science. This time around they explain why trying to name or number the multiple dimensions in our universe is a pointless endeavour.
Like quantum physics? What about quantum computers? Or quantum computers in a diamond? Then you should know that researchers at the Max Planck Institute have appropriately devised a way to create a quantum network in which a photon is exchanged between two atoms. Future!
What kind of YouTube witchery is this? Four hundred years ago, we’d all be burned for watching this electronic sorcery — the man’s made a stream of water stand completely still in the air. How’d he do it?
Distances are typically documented using specific measurement terms like centimetres, metres and even kilometres. But when someone asks you how far it is to the shopping centre, you’ll usually respond with a measurement of time instead of an exact number of kms.
Most of us don’t know much about Einstein. Minutephysics has spent the past month trying to beat a little context into our pea-sized dummy brains beyond, like, E=mc2. But it’s about time we got to learning the big one.
