To save physics, experts suggest the future may influence the past
(ORDO NEWS) — In 2022, the Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded for experimental work showing that the quantum world should destroy some of our fundamental ideas about how the universe works. Many look at these experiments and conclude that they challenge “locality” the intuition that distant objects need a physical intermediary to interact. Indeed, the mysterious connection between distant particles may be one way to explain these experimental results.…

AI just independently discovered alternative physics
(ORDO NEWS) — Pick up any physics textbook and you’ll find formula after formula describing how objects wobble, fly, deflect, and stop. The formulas describe actions that we can observe, but behind each of them there may be a set of factors that are not immediately obvious. Now a new artificial intelligence program developed by researchers at Columbia University appears to have discovered its own alternative physics. After the AI…

Scientists report breakthrough in physics: they made current behave like a liquid
(ORDO NEWS) — Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have been able to experimentally confirm the quantum effect previously predicted by theoretical physics. It turns the electric current into the movement of waves, not particles. Wave motion is characteristic of a liquid, where large molecules push each other and can create different eddies regardless of the direction of the main flow. However, the electrons are too small and therefore…

‘Very exciting’ anomaly found in major experiment could be huge news for physics
(ORDO NEWS) — The strange gap between theoretical predictions and experimental results in a major neutrino research project could be a sign of the elusive “sterile” neutrino – a particle so quiet that it can only be detected by the silence it leaves behind. This is not the first time the anomaly has been observed, adding to previous experimental data hints at something strange in the world of neutrino research.…

Standard model of particle physics may be broken
(ORDO NEWS) — Professor Roger Jones of the Large Hadron Collider at Kern looks at the future of discoveries in physics. As a physicist working at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at Kern, one of the most common questions I get asked is “When are you going to find something?”. Resisting the temptation to quip, “Apart from the Nobel Prize-winning Higgs boson and a whole host of new compound particles?”…

Physics of the almost impossible what will tell the brightest pulsar
(ORDO NEWS) — Take a colossus with a mass of one and a half to two Suns. Compress it to a diameter of several kilometers, so that a cubic centimeter of matter weighs hundreds of millions of tons. Add the most powerful magnetic field in the universe. Wrap yourself in an atmosphere of particles moving at nearly the speed of light. Recently, astronomers discovered the brightest pulsar of all located…

New data on bosons threaten the standard model of physics
(ORDO NEWS) — After a decade of careful measurements, scientists announced on Thursday that a fundamental particle, the W boson, has a much larger mass than thought, shaking the foundations of our understanding of how the universe works. These foundations are based on the Standard Model of particle physics, which is the best theory scientists have for describing the most basic building blocks of the universe and the forces they…

Ski jumping: how physics helps athletes soar in the air
(ORDO NEWS) — Ski jumping is perhaps one of the most intriguing events of the Winter Olympics, showing physics in action. The winner is the athlete who can fly the farthest of all rivals and land beautifully. To perform well at the Olympics and show the perfect ski jump, athletes must know physics Professionals in ski jumping literally know how to fly. Sliding down at high speed, athletes soar in…

Scientists explain inconsistencies in physics with the theory of multiverses
(ORDO NEWS) — Although in the scientific community it is customary to consider the Standard Model of physics to be the only true one, there are provisions in it that do not fit into the big picture. And now, as it became known, an international group of scientists proposed a different model. She successfully copes with the fact that “close” these problems. Thus, the discrepancy between the actual mass of…

Mystery of Jupiter’s polar cyclones solved using ocean physics
(ORDO NEWS) — Jupiter’s atmosphere is one of the most turbulent places in the Solar System, and thanks to the spacecraft Juno, we know that the poles are home to gigantic, persistent cyclones that rotate around areas of low pressure without dispersing. The mystery of why Jupiter’s cyclones have kept so stable has intrigued scientists since they were first observed in 2016, as the number of cyclones remains fixed; eight…

Ocean physics comes up to explain Jupiter’s atmospheric vortices
(ORDO NEWS) — The Juno satellite (“Juno”) NASA, which moves in the Jupiter system and its 79 satellites, sends high-quality images of the Jupiter system to Earth, and these images allowed oceanographers on our planet, who previously studied the Earth’s oceans, to see amazing similarities in the movement of water flows in the Earth oceans and streams of dense gas in the vicinity of the poles of Jupiter and assume…

Our Universe may have a fifth dimension that would change everything we know about physics
(ORDO NEWS) — What else could there be beyond the three dimensions of space and one of time? And how can we begin to conceive of it? In 1905, Albert Einstein showed in his Special Theory of Relativity that space is intimately connected to time via the cosmic speed limit of light and so, strictly speaking, we live in a Universe with four dimensions of space-time. For everyday purposes however,…
