Are multiverses real? An astrophysicist explains why it depends on how you define 'real'

The existence of the multiverse remains hypothetical, with no direct sensory evidence but potential indirect effects.

A 100-year-old theory might explain what's wrong with quantum mechanics

Pilot wave theory, developed by Louis de Broglie a century ago, potentially resolves quantum mechanics' paradoxes by describing particles guided by attendant waves rather than existing in superposition.

Mathematicians find one pi formula to rule them all

For more than two millennia, mathematicians have produced a growing heap of pi equations in their ongoing search for methods to calculate pi faster and faster. The pile of equations has now grown into the thousands, and algorithms now can generate an infinitude. Each discovery has arrived alone, as a fragment, with no obvious connection to the others. But now, for the first time, centuries of pi formulas have been shown to be part of a unified, formerly hidden structure.

A quirk of relativity is the closest thing to achieving immortality

While immortality is impossible due to thermodynamic laws, relativity reveals physical scenarios that maximize lifespan relative to the universe by manipulating spacetime through motion and gravity.

The more than 2,000year search for impossible geometries

Hyperbolic geometry allows familiar Euclidean facts, like triangle angle sums, to differ, and virtual reality enables immersive visualization of such non-Euclidean spaces.

Is time a fundamental part of reality? A quiet revolution in physics suggests not

Different fundamental physical theories treat time incompatibly, causing time to stretch, slow, or even disappear when those frameworks are combined.

Large-scale analogue quantum simulation using atom dot arrays - Nature

Analogue quantum simulations are a useful tool for investigating these systems, particularly in regimes in which the applicability of numerical techniques is limited. For different simulator platforms, figures of merit include the electron bandwidth and interaction strength, temperature and the number of simulated lattice sites. Their use is further underscored by the ability to realize distinct lattice geometries, on-site degrees of freedom and by the physical observables that are accessible to experimental measurement.

Ask Ethan: Can quantum entanglement survive a black hole?

According to Einstein's General Relativity, for every black hole that exists within the Universe, there are only three properties that go into it that matter in any way: the black hole's total mass, the black hole's net electric charge, and the black hole's intrinsic angular momentum, and that's it. It doesn't matter what type of matter went into the black hole in order to form it; all that matters is its mass, charge, and angular momentum.
