The incredible physics of quantum levitation With the right material at the right temperature and a magnetic track, physics really does allow perpetual motion without energy loss. $$ medium.com medium.com / feeds medium-com-starts-with-a-bang / / #science / / 22 hours 22h Share
The Universe is not the same forwards and backwards in time Whether you run the clock forward or backward, most of us expect the laws of physics to be the same. A 2012 experiment showed otherwise. $$ medium.com medium.com / feeds medium-com-starts-with-a-bang / / #science / / 1 day 1d Share
What we've learned after 35 years of NASA's Hubble When the Hubble Space Telescope first launched in 1990, there was so much we didn't know. Here's how far we've come. $$ medium.com medium.com / feeds medium-com-starts-with-a-bang / / #science / / 2 days 2d Share
Ask Ethan: Could our whole Universe be a black hole's interior? Once you cross a black hole's event horizon, there's no going back. But inside, could creating a singularity give birth to a new Universe? $$ medium.com medium.com / feeds medium-com-starts-with-a-bang / / #science / / 5 days 5d Share
Why is "F = ma" still the most important equation in physics? From high school through the professional ranks, physicists still take incredible lessons away from Newton's second law. $$ medium.com medium.com / feeds medium-com-starts-with-a-bang / / #science / / 6 days 6d Share
The single most amazing fact about the Universe No matter what it is that we discover about reality, the fact that reality itself can be understood remains the most amazing fact of all. $$ medium.com medium.com / feeds medium-com-starts-with-a-bang / / #science / / 7 days 7d Share
LIGO's heaviest black hole demands next-generation science With over 300 high-significance gravitational wave detections, we now have a huge unsolved puzzle. Will we invest in finding the solution? $$ medium.com medium.com / feeds medium-com-starts-with-a-bang / / #science / / 8 days 8d Share
How particle physics will continue after the last collider Will we build a successor collider to the LHC? Someday, we'll reach the true limit of what experiments can probe. But that won't be the ... $$ medium.com medium.com / feeds medium-com-starts-with-a-bang / / #science / / 9 days 9d Share
Ask Ethan: Can we fix the worst prediction in all of science? The measured value of the cosmological constant is 120 orders of magnitude smaller than what's predicted. How can this paradox be resolved? $$ medium.com medium.com / feeds medium-com-starts-with-a-bang / / #science / / 12 days 12d Share
Jupiter endangers Earth, and may have extincted the dinosaurs 65 million years ago, a massive asteroid struck Earth. Not only did Jupiter not stop it, but it most likely caused the impact itself. $$ medium.com medium.com / feeds medium-com-starts-with-a-bang / / #science / / 13 days 13d Share
