Source: Problems with 3 Body Problem? Experts discuss physics, mathematics behind hit Netflix show Interesting: Virginia Tech physicist Djordje Minic discusses the science behind the Netflix' super success "3 Body Problem" since its release on the digital airwaves. Excerpt from the article: "At the end of the 19th century, the great French mathematician Henri Poincaré's …
No matter how good our measurement devices get, certain quantum properties always possess an inherent uncertainty. Can we figure out why? Source: The physical reason behind quantum uncertainty The way I'm trying to wrap my head around this uncertainty principle is by imagining a soccer field player launching a direct shot towards the goalie of …

Source: We Finally Know What Turned The Lights on at The Dawn of Time I'd say JWST has already justified its cost and build-time, no? Looks as if preexisting theories about ionization are at least in part corroborated by these findings.
Source: The surprising origins of wave-particle duality Who would've thought? I hadn't been aware that the discovery of the wave-particle duality of photons, electrons and even larger structures of particles originated in the 17th century from the work of Christiaan Huygens. So the non-deterministic nature of our cosmos and reality are "set in stone" based …

A new approach seeks to unify quantum theory with classical General Relativity. The testable assumption here is to probe masses with unprecedented accuracy in order to find out, whether or not random fluctuations in the tested results point to a quantum nature of spacetime or a classical one. So far, the scientsts seem to be partial to the idea that classical systems "infect" quantum systems, a situation otherwise also known as "decoherence", which has a quantum system break down and the information be lost as soon as it interacts with the classical universe around it.
