Physicists may have made a huge mistake when they introduced dark energy. That is what a team of mathematicians say after looking at the equations. Because they find that, actually, it’s unnecessary. If they are right, that would be the ultimate embarrassment for physicists.

Physicists may have found the origin of gravity. And that would finally explain why gravity is different from the other forces of nature.

A scientist in the USA is getting sued for fraudulent use of grant money. If the lawsuit succeeds, the consequences could profoundly change academia.

One of physicists' most popular recent idea, that entanglement is really evidence for wormholes, just died

here is the video on the Riemann hypothesis that YouTube took down

Scientists have found evidence that quantum effects play a role for consciousness. And, no, it's not about microtubules.

String theory didn't just fail, it's far worse.

Astrophysicists have found evidence of UAPs in old photographic plates. Something seems to have been orbiting around our planet before we had satellites! This finding has been independently confirmed. Still, scientists are afraid to speak out. Beatriz Villarroel Rizwan Virk

it looks more confusing than it is!

I am optimistic that we will one day make contact to extraterrestrials because I don't think that the speed of light is a fundamental limit. Here I explain why and I have a brief summary below.

For reasons that are entirely casual and not remotely obsessive, I would like to establish that I made the “I’m not autistic, I’m just German” joke in 2023.

Physicists have used lessons from the physics of black holes to invent a new type of laser

The most famous piece of evidence for dark matter just evaporated.

We are seeing the first signs of AI improving itself

America is coming for one Europe's most important (if not THE most important) technologies

Fascinating zoom into the surface of the sun at unprecedented resolution. For the first time we can see the turbulence at the borders of convection cells! Video credit: NSF/NSO/AURA/MPS Press release:

A mathematician has come up with a new way to derive all mathematical operations from merely one. I've had a look at the paper.

Nuclear Fusion startups are running into trouble.

8 scientists in the US, involved with classified space-related research have disappeared or died in the recent past. I had a look at what is going on. It is definitely... odd.

A new computer analysis of Uranus and its moons supports the hypothesis that our solar system lost one or two giant planets early in its history.
