As a bonus inflation, when considered with quantum mechanics, produces fluctuations in the energy density that become ... (2023-Mar-03 • 43 minutes • @OxfordPhysics)

Tim Palmer: The Primacy of Doubt Tim Palmer graduated from Oxford with a PhD in mathematical physics, working on general relativity, and got a postdoc to work with Stephen Hawking.

Putting Einstein to the TEST: Jim Gates #einstein #relativity #gravity In 1911, a relatively unknown physicist named Albert Einstein published his preliminary theory of gravity.

So began a nearly decade-long quest by seven determined astronomers from observatories in four countries, who traveled the world during five eclipses to capture the elusive sight.

Holiday Edition Part 2, Science Matters: How the Universe Made your Holiday Gifts In December it was announced that the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory National Ignition facility has achieved its first goal of “Ignition”, in which 192 powerful lasers focused on a small pellet of fuel led to a sustained fusion reaction for a fraction of a second that released more energy than it received from the incident laser light. Following on requests from many readers, I describe the science behind this experiment, and the wishful thinking associated with it, regarding the possible use of fu...

Does Dark Matter Exist? Stacy McGaugh Stacy McGaugh is an American astronomer and professor at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio. His primary focus has been in physics problems related to the distribution of matter and the dynamics of galaxies. He's a proponent of Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND), which tweaks our understanding of gravity to allow galaxies to form and move without the need of a traditional dark matter halo. The theory was originally published in 1983 by Israeli physicist Mordehai Milgrom. MOND has been effect... (2022-Dec-29 • 71 minutes • @Into_Impossible • @DrBrianKeating)

Using Math to Support Cancer Research Stacey Finley from University of Southern California discusses how mathematical models support the research of cancer biology.
