CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is designed to probe the fringes of known physics, and now the facility has found particles not behaving as predicted. While it’s still early days, the discovery ...
Dark matter remains one of the biggest mysteries in fundamental physics. Many theoretical proposals (axions, WIMPs) and 40 ...
Physicists are eyeing charged gravitinos—ultra-heavy, stable particles from supergravity theory—as possible Dark Matter ...
A new way of explaining gravity could bring us a step closer to resolving the heretofore irresolvable differences it has with quantum mechanics. Physicists Mikko Partanen and Jukka Tulkki at Aalto ...
Going to smaller and smaller distance scales reveals more fundamental views of nature, which means if we can understand and describe the smallest scales, we can build our way to an understanding of ...
There’s no denying that the universe is one of the most complex things we can possibly try to get our heads around. Not only is it difficult to understand what goes on beyond the limits of the solar ...
Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. The Universe is out there, waiting for you to discover it. If you were to take any tiny piece of matter in our known Universe and ...
The grand explanation physicists use to describe how the universe works may have some major new flaws to patch after a fundamental particle was found to have more mass than scientists thought. “It’s ...
Neutrinos may be the most mysterious particles in the universe. These ghostly entities zip around at nearly the speed of light and can fly through matter easily — a light-year's worth of lead would ...
RECENTLY J. Barnóthy 1 has proposed an explanation of the elementary particles (protons, electrons, etc.) in terms of serial universes, each enclosed in one of higher order. The elementary particles ...
