Irrational Thoughts: Why something exists?
Part of 'Beyond the wall of Existence' project: An attempt to propose new ideas to solve the great philosophical mysteries of Existence and Being. One of the greatest questions of all time is how the world exists. Why is the matter that we see here? The most fundamental of questions. Where it all began. Why…

New force…
Everything in our Universe is held together or pushed apart by four fundamental forces: gravity, electromagnetism, and two nuclear interactions. Physicists now think they've spotted the actions of a fifth physical force emerging from a helium atom. It's not the first time researchers claim to have caught a glimpse of it, either. A few years…

Limits of measurements… Limits of out self…
The limits of classical measurements of mechanical motion have been pushed beyond expectations in recent years. But the sensitivity that we can achieve using purely conventional means is limited. For example, Heisenberg's uncertainty principle in quantum mechanics implies the presence of "measurement backaction": the exact knowledge of the location of a particle invariably destroys any…

Virtual 'universe machine'. Galaxy evolution. Understanding unicorns.
By creating millions of virtual universes and comparing them to observations of actual galaxies, researchers have made discoveries that present a powerful new approach for studying galaxy formation. (1) A cosmos full of phenomena. Phenomena we try to understand. Because we imagine we can. A cosmos full of laws. Laws we expect to decipher because…

Chameleon theory (theories)… Everlasting worlds…
Supercomputer simulations of galaxies have shown that Einstein's theory of General Relativity might not be the only way to explain how gravity works or how galaxies form. Physicists at Durham University, UK, simulated the cosmos using an alternative model for gravity -- f(R)-gravity, a so called Chameleon Theory. The resulting images produced by the simulation…
