Earlier this week, a physicists claimed they had proven a link between mysterious “dark energy” that is accelerating the expansion of the universe and supermassive black holes at the hearts of galaxies. 0:00 Do Black Holes Create Dark Energy? 0:46 … Continue reading
The Boltzmann brain paradox – Fabio Pacucci
[…] How do you know you’re a person who has lived your life, rather than a just-formed brain full of artificial memories, momentarily hallucinating a reality that doesn’t actually exist? That may sound absurd, but it’s kept several generations of … Continue reading

The True Meaning of Schrödinger’s Equation
Schrödinger’s equation governs the behavior of tiny quantum particles by treating them as wave functions. But is Schrödinger’s equation actually a wave equation? Maybe not. Check out Arvin Ash’s video: ________________________________ VIDEO ANNOTATIONS/CARDS Heat Flow with a Thermal Camera: Atomic … Continue reading
The Life Scientific, Clifford Johnson on making sense of black holes and movie plots | BBC Radio 4
Clifford Johnson’s career to date has spanned some seemingly very different industries – from exploring quantum mechanics around string theory and black holes, to consulting on some of Hollywood’s biggest movies; but it makes sense once you understand his ambition … Continue reading

Chapter 1-4: Rethinking General Relativity as 5 Dimensions of Physics – A Unifying Theory of Gravity
Many scientists have postulated that we need more dimensions to explain our observations in physics. The problem has been “Where are they?” This is my proposal of a different way of thinking about dimensions so we can perceive them, measure … Continue reading
The Other Side of Physics | Sabine Hossenfelder | TEDxNewcastle
For some physics is all about helping us nail down how the natural world works. And of course this is a hugely valuable and important effort. In Sabine’s talk, however, she wants to discuss how physics is a catalyst and … Continue reading
The Passage of Time and the Meaning of Life | Sean Carroll
What is time? What is humankind’s role in the universe? What is the meaning of life? For much of human history, these questions have been the province of religion and philosophy. What answers can science provide? In this talk, Sean … Continue reading
The 2nd Quantum Revolution — Nobel Prize in Physics 2022
[…] Today I speculate about the Nobel Prize in Physics, and explain why I think it’s overdue to go to Aspect, Clauser, and Zeilinger. The probably coolest thing to have come out of their work is quantum teleportation. At 10 … Continue reading
