The Cosmic Gems is one of the most highly magnified objects in space, thanks to a phenomenon called gravitational lensing. (Image credit: ESA/Webb, NASA & CSA, L. Bradley (STScI), A. Adamo (Stockholm University) and the Cosmic Spring collaboration) Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have observed five extremely dense proto-globular clusters along a hair-thin …
The physical reason behind quantum uncertainty | Big Think
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 …

The surprising origins of wave-particle duality
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 …

New Theory Unites Einstein’s Gravity With Quantum Mechanics | Scitechdaily.com
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.
Apple in a Box, A Trip to Infinity (2022) | Netflix
A Trip to Infinity, awesome visualization from a chapter in it demonstrating the possibility of the universe playing out each number of infinite possibilities, here with the example of an apple in a tightly sealed box (closed system). Spoiler: That box... could be our universe. 😮
Completing Einstein’s Theories – A Particle Physics Breakthrough | schitecdaily.com
Osaka University researchers show the relativistic contraction of an electric field produced by fast-moving charged particles, as predicted by Einstein’s theory, which can help improve radiation and particle physics research.
Revisiting Quantum Entanglement: How ‘Spooky action at a distance’ can lead to a multiverse. | Space
A new reality might be produced by every possible quantum interaction. by Paul Sutter for Space Magazine online.
Test of Einstein’s General Relativity has Major Implications | Big Think
A group of researchers going by the name MicroSCOPE proved Einstein's Equivalence Principal of Gravity to an accuracy of one part in a quadrillion
The Big Bang no longer means what it used to | Big Think
Credit: Nicolle Rager FullerFrom a pre-existing state, inflation predicts that a series of universes will be spawned as inflation continues, with each one being completely disconnected from every other one, separated by more inflating space. One of these "bubbles," where inflation ended, gave birth to our Universe some 13.8 billion years ago, where our entire …

It takes three to tangle: Long-range quantum entanglement needs three-way interaction | phys.org
Source: It takes three to tangle: Long-range quantum entanglement needs three-way interaction Very "cool" (errm... or not, actually 🙂 )! A group of researchers from RIKEN Center for Advanced Intelligence Project found that quantum entanglement over long distances can only exist in a stable manner between at least three sub–systems. That more closely specifies …
