Are Black Holes Actually Fuzzballs?
Black holes of string theory - fuzzballs - are perhaps even weirder than the regular type.

What If Our Understanding of Gravity Is Wrong?
We learn more about Modified Newtonian Dynamics aka MOND.
What If Our Understanding of Gravity Is Wrong?
Is Action The Most Fundamental Property in Physics?
ACTION is the concept in physics that may be more fundamental than energy and entropy.

How An Extreme New Star Could Change All Cosmology
A newly discovered white dwarf may change our understanding of all cosmology.
How An Extreme New Star Could Change All Cosmology
How Electron Spin Makes Matter Possible
The fact is that all electrons are the same as each other and the object is what changes.
How Electron Spin Makes Matter Possible
How Magnetism Shapes The Universe
We explore the range and distance magnetism can take us.

Where Are The Worlds In Many Worlds?
Where are the worlds of all the times the universe has split?
Where Are The Worlds In Many Worlds?
Although elusive, the quantum spin has led to some of the deepest insights we now know.
Electrons Do Not Spin
How Quantum Entanglement Creates Entropy
Entropy is behind one of the most fundamental laws of physics.
How Quantum Entanglement Creates Entropy
Can Space Be Infinitely Divided?
The more time and space are divided, the distance between them may not exist.
Can Space Be Infinitely Divided?
Are We Running Out of Space Above Earth?
The accumulation of space junk increases collisions known as the Kessler Syndrome.
Are We Running Out of Space Above Earth?
What If Tiny Black Holes Are Everywhere?
If Planck relics are real, then the black holes may just be everywhere.
What If Tiny Black Holes Are Everywhere?
Breaking The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle
Quantum mechanics forbids us from measuring the universe. But we try with this principle.
Breaking The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle
The New Warp Drive Possibilities
Einstein gives us a glimmer of hope that time can be warped.
The New Warp Drive Possibilities
What If Dark Matter Is Just Black Holes?
It may be that for every star in the universe there are billions of black holes.
