The Probability Density Function: A Known Unknown
I recently listened again to Richard Feynman explaining why the flowing of time is probably an illusion. In modern physics time is just a coordinate, on the same footing as space, and the universe can be described as a four-dimensional object — a spacetime block. In that view, nothing really “flows”. All events>
A small, icy moon of Saturn called Enceladus is one of the prime targets in the search for life elsewhere in the solar system. A new study strengthens the case for Enceladus being a habitable world.The data for those new research findings comes from the Cassini spacecraft, which orbited Saturn from 2004-2017. In 2005>
Glow-in-the-dark stickers are nothing new; they emit visible light after being exposed to sunlight. A paper just published in Nature Materials emits a long-lasting, near-infrared glow after a single minute of exposure to sunlight. Why is that good? It has the potential to revolutionize medical diagnostics>
A gravity model of the Earth constructed with data from GRACE. Credit: University of Texas Center for Space Research and NASAIt is all about gravity these days. First came GRACE (Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment) and then we'll have GOCE (Gravity field and steady-state Ocean Circulation Explorer). I'll reveal>

Sure, high energy physics costs billions these days (and watch out for birds - and lightning) but table-top experiments with tuned lasers and sensitive detectors can also continue to achieve the precision necessary for exploring the basic laws of physics at the heart of relativity and quantum mechanics.>
