That's the premise of the invisible string theory. The belief that unseen emotional ties exist across distance and time. It walks away from reality and runs towards a perspective that offers romantics ...

Biological systems are notoriously tough to model, especially when it comes to figuring out the axons, neurons, blood vessels, and other structural components of gray matter, or the tissue that makes ...

This video introduces string theory in clear, simple terms, outlining its core ideas and why scientists study it as a possible framework for understanding the universe. Leavitt asked if Americans ...

Natural physical networks are continuous, three-dimensional objects, like the small mathematical model displayed here. Researchers have found that physical networks in living systems follow rules ...

In this video, we explore the relationship between string theory and quantum field theory (QFT). QFT is a mathematical framework that describes nearly all particles and forces in the universe but ...

In August, a team of mathematicians posted a paper claiming to solve a major problem in algebraic geometry — using entirely alien techniques. It instantly captivated the field, stoking excitement in ...

In 1980, Stephen Hawking gave his first lecture as Lucasian Professor at the University of Cambridge. The lecture was called "Is the end in sight for theoretical physics?" Forty-five years later, ...

Have you ever met someone and thought, “wait… why does this feel like destiny?” Like the universe was quietly working behind the scenes to make sure you crossed paths? That’s the heart of invisible ...

Today, on the last day of the U.S. Open, we have a chat with a tennis writer. By Adam B. Kushner I am the editor of this newsletter. I’m a delusional tennis player. Not the kind who brags about his ...

String theory—the idea that particles are not point-like, but instead one-dimensional strings—is a popular theoretical framework that attempts to combine general relativity and quantum field theory ...
