Particle physics research, new particles, fifth force...
In a "breakthrough" for the field of particle physics, Professor of Physics Larry Hunter and colleagues at Amherst College and The University of Texas at Austin have established new limits on what scientists call "long-range spin-spin interactions" between atomic particles. Their observation would constitute the discovery of a "fifth force of nature" (in addition to the four…

Cosmos inherent instability, Multiple universes, One...
Scientists say they may be able to determine the eventual fate of the cosmos as they probe the properties of the Higgs boson. A concept known as vacuum instability could result, billions of years from now, in a new universe opening up in the present one and replacing it, due to quantum fluctuations that will make…

Quantum mechanics, Interpretations, Subjectivity
Quantum mechanics is a weird thing. Something like the last frontier of Science, it poses extreme questions which make us wonder about fundamental issues - like the role of measurement in what we see happening. It goes to the hear of the biggest problems of existence - i.e. what is a particle, what is mass…
