"The simplest version of the problem involves a garage, with a front and back door which are open, and a ladder which, when at rest with respect to the garage,...

The Kepler telescope is discovering many planets by searching for changes in a star's brightness when a planet transits across the face of a star. However,...

"The attempt to understand the Second Law of thermodynamics occupies a central role in the foundations of physics: not only is it of great importance in and of...

Physics Girl (4:30): "One last question. What's happening to the clocks during the period of acceleration? We still get time dilation, but we have to use a...

"Back in 2012, Wilczek came up with a tantalising idea. He wondered if, in the same way that a crystal breaks symmetry in space, it would be possible to create...

Consider a light source emitting a series of pulses equally distanced from one another. A stationary observer (receiver) measures the frequency of the pulses:...

According to Brian Greene, if the muon is "sitting in front of you", it will self-destruct very quickly. Muons moving at high speed live longer, as predicted...

Physics has changed in strange ways. Theoreticians can now do without experimental confirmation while experimentalists find it ethical to work in absolute...

Einstein's Relativity Must be Removed from Physics. SPEAKER: Dr. Vesselin C.. Noninski, TIME: 3:00pm on Wednesday, 1 March 2017, LOCATION: National Press Club,...

Sabine Hossenfelder: "...hints at a deeper truth: that space-time is made of small elements whose collective motion gives rise to the force we call gravity. In...

"A fudge factor is an ad hoc quantity introduced into a calculation, formula or model in order to make it fit observations or expectations. Examples include...

"In January 2017 - just one year after the dawn of gravitational-wave astronomy - the Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics (Albert Einstein...

Stuart Clark: "Cosmic uncertainty: Is the speed of light really constant? The speed of light in a vacuum is the ultimate cosmic speed limit. Just getting close...

'Well, in our country,' said Alice, still panting a little, 'you'd generally get to somewhere else - if you ran very fast for a long time, as we've been...

The Conversation: "The next scientific breakthrough could come from the history books. New perspectives on old investigations might turn out to be promising...

In Einstein's schizophrenic world statements and their negations harmoniously coexist (doublethink): "For months now, there's been speculation that...

Jos Uffink, Bluff your way in the Second Law of Thermodynamics: "I therefore argue for the view that the second law has nothing to do with the arrow of time. ...

Nowadays most theoreticians reject Einstein's spacetime, explicitly or implicitly, and the reason hasn't changed since 1905: The ad hoc distortion of space and...
