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…

Dimensions. Dimensionless.
By adding some magnetic flair to an exotic quantum experiment, physicists produced an ultra-stable one-dimensional quantum gas with never-before-seen 'scar' states - a feature that could someday be useful for securing quantum information. (1) One dimension things. Three dimension space. Four dimension experiences. Multi dimension beings. Funny. No one cares about the element that makes…

One… Two… Many…
Phase transitions describe dramatic changes in properties of a macroscopic system - like the transition from a liquid to a gas. Starting from individual ultracold atoms, physicists were able to observe the emergence of such a transition with an increasing number of particles. (1) One. Two. Three. Many. The whole cosmos can be explained by…

Building…
Scientists have discovered a way to control the growth of twisting, microscopic spirals of materials just one atom thick. The continuously twisting stacks of two-dimensional materials built by a team create new properties that scientists can exploit to study quantum physics on the nanoscale. (1) 3D from 2D. 4D from 3D. 5D from 4D. And…

Knowing thy name…
Physicists surprised to find that in specially coated tubes, the more viscous a liquid is, the faster it flows. (1) Water. Dripping fast. Honey. Dripping slow. Things changing. Only because of things changing. Honey. Dripping fast. Water. Dripping slow. Ask yourself. Would you ever ask why? Oh, wise man... (What is your name?)
