Flat Earth theory: A joke which proves more than meets the eye. (Scientific models vs. Reality)
A Flat Earther will try to fly a rocket to prove his theory right (or wrong). (source) All jokes aside, we should all respect any man (or woman) who is bold enough to try and prove (or disprove) the theory he believes in. This is something we don't see every day, not even in science.…

Measuring the cosmos… Ghosts and numbers…
A groundbreaking experiment in physics has for the first time provided a precise measurement of a force between electrons and protons called the weak nuclear force. The value 0.0719 (give or take 0.0045) won't mean much to most of us, but the way they did it makes way for some exciting possibilities for pushing physics…

Against the realistic interpretation of the Theory of Relativity (and any other theory)
Author: Spyridon Kakos Goal of the paper The goal of this paper is to show that the realistic interpretation of the Theory of Relativity is something wrong, the result of false axioms and principles. By analyzing why Einstein’s famous theory cannot and should not be seen as something “physically true”, what Harmonia Philosophica has been…

Building theories. Seeing what we want to see. Existing.
Scientists have created, for the first time a three-dimensional skyrmion in a quantum gas. The skyrmion was predicted theoretically over 40 years ago, but only now has it been observed experimentally. (1) We always “see” things we have theories about first. Even if we happen to see something totally unexpected, we always create theories to…

Fermions. Breaking the Lorenz symmetry. Shielding scientific theories from change. Breaking the tea cup.
A weird new particle imitator flouts the established rules of particle physics. The discovery could help scientists simulate how particles behaved just after the Big Bang or lead to the development of new devices with unusual electromagnetic properties. The curious new phenomenon involves a particle-like entity called a quasiparticle, formed from a jostling mosh pit…
