In trying to solve the ultimate problem, we may have inadvertently created a monster.
A new measurement of gravity at small scales hints at an alternative to billion-dollar experiments for the future of physics.
Good questions guide good science, but that doesn’t mean we know where we’ll end up.
Our two best theories of nature, quantum mechanics and general relativity, are incompatible with each other in many ways – leaving physicists to dig deeper.
We know that pigs or dogs will never understand prime numbers. Some philosophers think that concepts like consciousness are similarly inaccessible to humans.
