A mathematician claims that all functions can be derived from only one operation. I've had a look at the paper

According to the New York Post, the U.S. used a “long-range quantum magnetometer” that can “find the electromagnetic fingerprint of a human heartbeat” in its Easter weekend operation to rescue an F-15 weapons systems officer. What might it be?

A group of astrophysicists says that we have overestimated the mass in galaxy clusters and we might not need dark matter after all, modified gravity will do the job

I said I don't see any real world application besides cryptography. Same thing I say in this video.

Can we now simulate a human brain? Sabine @hossenfelder.bsky.social checks out the claim which is technically, well, not quite wrong.
New hardware is capable of modelling a neural network of 80 billion neurons—the number in a human brain.
If only we knew what ours looks like.

String theory has changed the foundations of physics profoundly, and I for one am worried about its legacy.

The current status of academic publishing is miserable, and many people believe that the rise of AI will only make that worse. While they might be right in the short term, I think that in the long run, AI will help science. Let’s take a look.

In this video I explain why I think it’s wrong to believe that the speed of light is an impossible to overcome limit. I am afraid that this is the biggest mistake that physicists are making, that indeed our entire species is making.

What is space, really? That’s one of the biggest questions in science. According to a pair of researchers from the Perimeter Institute, the answer to that is: a quasicrystal. What is a quasicrystal, and how is space a quasicrystal? Let’s take a look.

In a recent paper, scientists at Microsoft revealed that they’ve found a way to store data for more than 10000 years by laser-etching pieces of glass. There are also a few other interesting ways that researchers are improving other storage technologies.

Do we live in a computer simulation? So far this question has been pursued mostly by philosophers because it was just too vague to make scientific sense of it. But this situation has changed now.

The first ever human spacecraft to land on the moon wasn’t Apollo 11 – it was the Soviet Luna 9 probe, which touched down three years before the Apollo lander. For decades, researchers have for some reason been unable to track down its location … up until now.

If the headlines are to be believed, kids these days are getting dumber. Some of the data – which indicate that Gen Z individuals are performing worse than their parents in standardized testing – backs this claim up, but this isn’t the full story.

"it’s not so much that theory..disappears, but that we can leave it to AI to develop. It’s theorists that disappear, not theory"
"I’ve already talked a few times about how AI is taking over maths. This is no longer hypothetical, it’s happening. And theoretical physics is next, we can see it coming"
