Markov Chains: How a Russian Math Feud Changed Computing
A 1913 grudge match between two Russian mathematicians produced Markov chains, now powering Google, nuclear simulations, and AI.
The Oldest Homo Sapiens Were Not Where Anyone Expected
Fossils from a Moroccan cave turned out to be 315,000 years old, pushing the origin of Homo sapiens back by 100,000 years and...
Dark Energy Is Weakening. Three Experiments Now Agree.
Three independent experiments – DESI, the Dark Energy Survey, and the South Pole Telescope – now all point the same way: dark energy...
The Physics Simulation Fix That Took One Iteration
A new physics simulation method from Utah and Roblox solves problems that stumped every previous technique, needing just one iteration.
Sabine Hossenfelder: Why AI Won't Save Physics Yet
Sabine Hossenfelder argues that AI won't fix physics because the real problem is wrong theories, not missing data. Here's what she gets right.
The Planck Length Marks Where Physics Runs Out of Answers
The Planck length marks the smallest distance physics can describe. Brian Cox explains why observation itself breaks down at 10⁻³⁵ metres.
Black Hole Information Paradox: Could Spacetime Remember?
Physicist Florian Neukart proposes spacetime stores quantum information at the Planck scale, offering a new approach to the black hole information paradox.
The Faint Glow Living Things Give Off, and What Color It Is
Biophotons are the faint visible glow all living things emit from metabolism. A 2025 study caught it in mice and watched it vanish...
The Planck Scale Problem: 17 Missing Layers of Reality
Between elementary particles and the Planck scale sits a 17-order gap with no known structure. Matt O'Dowd explores why this threatens physics.
What Is Qualia? Scientists Say They Can Now Measure Conscious Experience
What is qualia? A Japanese research team used fMRI to map the neural structure of color experience across 35 participants, suggesting your red...
