In the many worlds theory of quantum physics, all possible outcomes of a quantum event occur, creating branching parallel worlds in which a ...

Our universe is a very strange place, but a new dark matter simulation seems to suggest that we live in a particularly strange area in it. A...

I got some questions about the appearance of my name in Jeffrey Epstein's inbox. Turns out to be about... quantum gravity, unbelievable ...

Over the past few months, we’ve seen a growing number of headlines claiming that AI has solved math theorems that have remained unsolved for...

You’ve probably seen the headlines about microplastics, which claim that the micrometer-scale bits of plastic are everywhere, causing a wide...

We know that Einstein’s general relativity is, strictly speaking, wrong. That’s because it doesn’t account for quantum effects despite the f...

The Kessler Syndrome is the idea that filling Earth’s orbit with too many satellites will inevitably cause failures to occur, leading to a c...

Why does light exist? It's a consequence of what physicists call a "gauge symmetry" and in today's video I do my best to ...

Biofuels are fuels made from plant oils. The idea is that using plants to create fuel for cars and generators should lower carbon emissions,...

In which I wonder whether we will just have to accept that the laws of nature are ugly

Geothermal energy – using the heat from within the Earth to generate electricity – has been around as a concept for decades at this point. B...

Quantum physics works extremely well. It predicts experiments with absurd accuracy… but conceptually it’s a disaster. Here’s one example – ...

Why does space have 3 dimensions? Why not 2? Or 4? Or 7? It’s because physics wouldn’t work properly. Let’s take a look at the major reasons...

String theory was supposed to be physics’ grand theory of everything. While it’s (so far) failed in that aspect, string theory’s principles ...

A unified theory – that explains the interactions in the standard model of particle physics from one common origin – has been a goal of phys...

Physicists don’t actually know what the universe is really made of. The currently most popular theory is that most of the universe is made o...

Scientists across the globe are pushing surveillance technology to new levels that will probably shock you. Researchers are using radar to t...

AI has been rapidly advancing over the past few years, and the technology is now becoming more widely adopted by scientists. What will the c...

The #1 most-wanted particle in physics is the graviton, a quantum of gravity. If physicists were to prove that gravitons exist, they would ...

It’s a new year, and according to a new paper, physics is headed into a new era. Over the past few years, the field of physics has seen a m...
