Faster-than-light travel may no longer be pure science fiction. This video explores the groundbreaking math behind warp drives, including the famous Alcubierre model that bends spacetime itself. Learn ...

As noted in the video, the question of whether a curve ball really changes direction or only appears to was hotly debated for a long time, until Briggs settled it in the late 50s. This is one of those ...

A growing body of theoretical and experimental work in physics is converging on a striking possibility: time, the dimension humans experience as a constant forward flow, may not be a fundamental ...

People were making predictions about the physics of No Man’s Sky even before the game had been released. For a long time, the game’s creators had adamantly maintained they were designing a simulated ...

Nvidia announced its Nvidia Omniverse Blueprint, a technology that enables industry software developers to build digital twins with realistic real-time physics. It enables computer-aided engineering ...

Reading Christopher Pinney’s 2018 book The Waterless Sea: a Curious History of Mirages, I was struck by a phrase he used to describe mirages, and indeed all illusions: “real, but not true”. There is ...

You would be forgiven for thinking that real numbers are, in fact, real — the word is right there in the name. But physicist Nicolas Gisin doesn’t think so. He’s not questioning the mathematical ...
