Many physicists argue the universe is fine-tuned for life – findings question this idea

Raw Story  

Physicists have long grappled with the question of why the universe was able to support the evolution of intelligent life. Weinberg reasoned that a larger dark energy density would speed up the universe’s expansion. Weinberg proposed that only a tiny fraction of the universes within the multiverse, whether real or hypothetical, would have a sufficiently small dark energy density to …

The Quantum Geometry That Exists Outside of Space and Time

Wired  

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. The conspiracy, Figueiredo and her colleagues realized, stems from the existence of a hidden structure, one that could potentially simplify the complex business of understanding what’s going on at the base level of reality. Arkani-Hamed therefore suspects that the usual notion of quantum particles moving and interacting in space-time is …

Analysis reveals van Gogh's brilliant understanding of fluid dynamics in "The Starry Night"

Salon  

When Dutch artist Vincent Van Gogh produced "The Starry Night" in 1889, he is believed to have put paint to canvas to illustrate the chaotic conditions inside his own mind. Yet according to a new article the journal Physics of Fluids, "The Starry Night" did more than simulate Van Gogh's struggles with mental illness; it also displayed an intuitive understanding …

Einstein and his peers were 'irrationally resistant' to black holes. Relative values While some scientists had speculated about the existence of similar objects called "dark stars" more than 200 years ago, it was Einstein's theory of general relativity that laid the ground for understanding how black holes could be created.

Everyone's talking about heat pumps these days as a better way to warm your home. Now, you might reasonably think a “heat pump” pumps heat around, like a water pump moves water. But heat isn't really a thing; it's an energy transfer from one object to another due to a temperature difference. To be honest, even physicists misuse the term …

It posits that when our universe went through cosmic inflation, some parts of the spacetime fabric could have expanded more quickly than others, creating spacetime ‘bubbles’ that developed into ‘pocket’ universes.
