The study examines how thinking about your values before you open your mouth leads to happier relationships
Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain Have you ever found yourself angry about a situation and desperate to tell the world about it by yelling at anyone who will listen? Maybe it’s time to stop; Inhale and think about the values that are dear to you. A new interdisciplinary study, conducted by philosophers and linguists at Cardiff … Read more
A lost interview with Big Bang’s father reveals a captivating conversation
In 1931, A.A His name is the Belgian cosmologist Georges Lemaitre The astronomer was shocked. Perhaps, he said in a provocative paper, our utterly colossal cosmic vastness may have begun as a very small singular point about 14 billion years ago. However, he continued, the blob may have exploded, eventually spilling over into a huge … Read more
Predict human population sizes with physics
Human population sizes can be predicted by methods from physics. Credit: Complex Science Complex Just by knowing the average number of friends each person has, scientists at the Complexity Science Hub (CSH) have been able to predict the group sizes of people in a computer game. For this purpose, they modeled the formation of social … Read more

Physicists discover a new way to solve the strange mystery of dark energy
Physicists have proposed a new explanation for dark energy. It can shed insights into the interdependence between quantum field theory and general relativity theory, as two perspectives of the universe and its elements. What is behind dark energy – and what links it to the cosmological constant introduced by Albert Einstein? Two physicists from the … Read more
The universe is a little hotter than it should be. The “dark photons” could be to blame.
Observations indicate that the intergalactic gas in our universe is slightly hotter than it should be. Recently, a team of astrophysicists used sophisticated computer simulations to propose a radical solution: an exotic form of dark matter known as “dark matter”. photons“It could be heating up the place. These strange particles will be carriers of a … Read more
Why more physicists are beginning to think that space and time are “illusions”
Last December, the Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded for the experimental confirmation of a quantum phenomenon known for more than 80 years: entanglement. As conceived by Albert Einstein and his collaborators in 1935, quantum objects can be mysteriously related even if they are separated by great distances. But as bizarre as the phenomenon sounds, … Read more
This physicist says that electrons are spinning in quantum physics after all. Here’s why: ScienceAlert
‘Spin’ is a fundamental property of fundamental particles such as the electron, conjuring up images of a small sphere rapidly rotating on its axis like a planet in a shrunken solar system. Just not. I can not. For one thing, electrons are not spheres of matter but points described in the mathematics of probability. But … Read more
