Fundamental physics faces a stubborn paradox: the current impossibility of reconciling the rules of the quantum world with ...

Albert Einstein’s general theory of relativity does a great job at explaining gravity but it is thought to be incomplete ...

It's a problem that Albert Einstein identified more than 100 years ago. It's a problem we could be on the cusp of solving, or that could take another century to untangle. And the problem is that we ...

Something seems to be missing from the universe, and the favored model of physics calls it “dark matter” – but despite a century of searching, it remains a no-show. A new paper proposes an alternative ...

I was actually asked this question yesterday by one of my physics students. He was surprised to see a figure of 32 in his pre-calculus book associated with the acceleration due to gravity on earth, ...

In a study published in Physical Review Letters, physicists have demonstrated that black holes satisfy the third law of ...

Some people watch science fiction shows to be entertained, and that's fine. But you can also use them to find excellent physics problems. How about the recent Netflix movie Stowaway? It's about a crew ...

Dark matter is currently the most widely accepted hypothesis for explaining some of the weirdness we see in the cosmos – but it’s not the only possibility. Now, a team of astronomers has discovered ...

The Expanse should just change their post credits for each episode to include a list of homework questions. Seriously—there are so many great things to explore in this hard science fiction show. In a ...
