Recently, some interesting research out of the University of Arkansas, and as published in the journal Physical Review E, has been in the news. A team led by Professor Paul Thibado has harvested energy from freestanding graphene—a potentially revolutionary development of power generation from material that is just simply existing, essentially. These sheets of graphene […]
Ever-widening cracks are appearing in the Big Bang theory of the universe’s origin. However, the Big Bang theory accurately describes the great majority of cosmological observations, so any new theory should retain many, if not most, of the basic Big Bang components. There is a new theory of the universe’s origin and evolution, called the […]

A Caltech researcher has recently pointed out that Schrodinger’s Equation, which describes the wavelike nature of particles, and is therefore the foundational equation of quantum mechanics, is also very useful in describing the long-term evolution of large-scale astronomical structure of space-time. Today, let’s conduct a little science thought experiment. A typical scientific process might entail […]
