Cosmology is already a complicated field of study, so switching up the variables is extra rough.

A new physics study challenges the simulation hypothesis, arguing that the universe contains realities that can likely never ...

Mathematics can be a subject that’s a bit unrelatable for some. Perhaps you recall sitting in a math class at some point, wondering, “When am I ever going to use quadratic equations?” But a new book ...

Dark energy, making up 70% of the universe, causes its accelerating expansion. Gravitational waves, predicted by Einstein, were detected from colliding black holes. The Event Horizon Telescope imaged ...

A question that has vexed physicists for the past century may finally have a solution – but perhaps not the one everyone was ...

If you believe the Mathematical Universe Hypothesis then yes. And so are you. Quantum phenomena have no subjective qualities and have questionable physicality. They seem to be completely describable ...

John von Neumann came about as close as humanly possible to embodying the Platonic ideal of a genius. Conversant in ancient Greek by age 6, the Hungarian made significant mathematical advances in his ...

Professor of Mathematics and Statistics, University of Maryland, Baltimore County Below is an edited excerpt from the book club discussion. You’re welcome to keep the conversation flowing by adding ...

If you’ve ever heard the phrase “the music of the spheres,” your first thought probably wasn’t about mathematics. But in its historical origin, the music of the spheres actually was all about math. In ...

You might think that mathematics is the most trustworthy thing humans have ever come up with. It is the basis of scientific rigour and the bedrock of much of our other knowledge too. And you might be ...
