News from MOND: Dark Matter’s Biggest Competitor Attempts Comeback

Over the years, astrophysicists have made many observations that they can’t explain with normal gravity and normal matter combined. Most physicists explain these differences between observation and prediction with dark matter. However, some believe that modified Newtonian dynamics (MOND for short) – which modifies the laws of gravity – is an alternative explanation. While that theory was supposedly “killed” a few years ago, the discussion over MOND has now been revived with a new series of papers. Let’s take a look.

This Is What Happens After A Nuclear War.

The Doomsday clock, which symbolically measures how close the world is to nuclear war, is currently at 89 seconds until midnight – the closest it’s ever been. Over the past few years, we’ve also heard two presidents discuss the “nuclear option.” This is all to say that the world is surprisingly close to nuclear war. We’ve just become numb to that reality. But what happens after the nuclear bombs go off? Let’s take a look.

I tried Vibe Physics. This is what I learned.

I've tried GPT 5, Gemini Deepthink, Grok 4, and Claude Opus 4.1 to get some feedback on a physics idea.

Did they just break quantum physics?

Quantum entanglement is a type of correlation between particles – meaning their states are inherently related to one another’s – which can survive across large distances. It is a quantum phenomenon that can exist only under certain circumstances. But a group of physicists recently published a study claiming they’ve created the effects of entanglement without actually entangling the particles. Get your headache medicine ready, because we’re about to take a look.

Interdimensional Beings have visited us, Congresswoman Claims – What might it mean?

Recently, a member of U.S. Congress claimed that military officials have seen evidence for interdimensional beings. Apparently, these military officials believe that interdimensional aliens are the only explanations for various unidentified objects that we humans have spotted over the years. Let’s take a look.

A New Test for Gravity & Quantum Physics With the Quantum Internet

The quantum internet seems like a waste of time and resources because the links between each node in the system are incredibly fragile and can be broken by the slightest amount of noise. But while the quantum internet might not end up delivering your email, researchers have recently claimed that it might be used to test how gravity and quantum physics interact. Let’s take a look.

Black Holes Cause Dark Energy, Physicists Claim

According to a growing body of physics research, the dark energy in our universe is weakening over time. This indicates that our current standard cosmological model does not fit reality. Recently, a team of researchers came up with a theory which they claim does fit the new observations – they say that dark energy is caused by black holes. Let’s take a look.

GPT-5: Have We Finally Hit The AI Scaling Wall?

OpenAI just released its GPT-5 LLM and AI startups across the world are still getting massive valuations from investors. But talk of Large Language Models hitting a “wall” are not going away. A new paper now explained what the real problem with AI scaling is. Is the AI wall real or not? Let’s take a look.

Singularities are Inevitable, Physicist Claims

According to Einstein’s theories, the universe started with a Big Bang singularity and is slowly expanding until it disperses into nothingness. But physicists have also come up with theories claiming that the Big Bang was non-singular and can repeat, restarting the cycle over again. These are called “cyclic models,” and they’ve re-emerged into the spotlight now that there’s mounting evidence that dark energy is weakening over time. However, a physicist from UC Berkeley recently published a paper which he claims “categorically rules out” cyclic models. Let’s take a look.

This Is How People Game Science Publishing

Things are not looking good for the future of science publishing. Researchers are leveraging AI, paper mills are churning out more fake papers than ever, and people are constantly coming up with new strategies to abuse the peer review system. Let’s take a look at how the world of science publishing is struggling with the growing issue of science fraud.

New Observations Fit Neatly With String Theory, Physicists Find

According to a growing body of data, dark energy is not constant. Instead, physicists claim, it’s slowly getting weaker. This has understandably shaken our understanding of the universe – this week, physicists show that the new data is compatible with string theory, and that the universe will eventually collapse. Let’s take a look.

Constructor Theory Explains Origin of Time

Most physicists believe that time fundamentally doesn’t exist, because the concept of time is incompatible with a model of physics where quantum mechanics and general relativity coexist. David Deutsch and Chiara Marletto have now shown that “constructor theory” can be used to construct time. Let’s take a look.

Scientific research has big problems, and it's getting worse

Today I have a few words about some well-known and maybe not-so well known problems with scientific research and what others have said about this.

Is Dark Matter Evidence Of A Mirror Universe?

Recently, a physicist published a paper claiming that dark matter is the consequence of a mirror universe. What is a mirror universe? Is this idea as far-fetched as it sounds? Or does it actually make sense? Let’s take a look.

Did MIT Researchers Just Prove Einstein Wrong?

In 1927, Einstein used a variant of the double slit experiment – at that time only a thought experiment – to argue that quantum mechanics are wrong. Up until recently, researchers have been unable to fully disprove his claims. Now, though, a group of physicists from MIT claim they’ve proven that Einstein was wrong about quantum physics by actually carrying out the experiment. Let’s take a look.

Stunning! AI “Creativity” Is Highly Predictable, Researchers Find

Is AI truly creative or is it, as Noam Chomsky put it, merely “high-tech plagiarism?” Multiple studies have documented that AI is more creative and more efficient at creative tasks than humans. But in a stunning paper that just appeared, researchers demonstrate that images produced with (simple) convolutional neural nets are 90% predictable by purely analytical methods. So how creative is AI really? Let’s take a look.

Black Holes Can Eat Stars from Within, Physicists Claim

According to a team of physicists, black holes can form inside of stars, slowly consuming them from the inside until they collapse. While this might sound like something out of a science fiction movie, it’s not complete nonsense. Let’s take a look.

How Quantum Physics Changes Our View Of Reality

The discovery of quantum mechanics has fundamentally changed not just the field of physics but also our understanding of what reality is. Let’s take a look at just what makes quantum physics so weird and why it is so hard to reconcile with our perception of physical reality.

New Theory: Space Has Memory, Stores Information

Gravitational memory” is the idea that gravity’s ability to duplicate information from other forces should somehow store that information in certain masses. A group of physicists has now published a series of papers claiming that this idea might solve the black hole information loss problem and explain dark matter. Really? Let’s take a look.

We Are Underestimating AI

Already tired of hearing about how AI is going to change the world? Well, I think they’re right and we are underestimating AI. Let’s take a look at what AI experts, super-predictors, consultants, and investors are all predicting about the future of AI.
