An experimental collaboration has reported what may be the first detection of a dark matter particle. I have a brief summary: https://t.co/MhATDW74nc #DarkMatter #Physics #ScienceNews #Nospecificcountriesarementionedinthetweet.

Artificial intelligence has eaten mathematics. Physics is next, and almost nobody is talking about it. https://t.co/zm7DHmMWRO #ArtificialIntelligence #Mathematics #Physics #Nospecificcountrycodescanbeidentifiedinthetweetyouprovided.

Physicists may have made a huge mistake when they introduced dark energy. That is what a team of mathematicians say after looking at the equations. Because they find that, actually, it’s unnecessary. If they are right, that would be the ultimate embarrassment for physicists. https://t.co/ZyhAaFDHa3 #DarkEnergy #Physics #Mathematics #Therearenospecificcountrymentionsintheprovidedtweet.Therefore #therearenocountrycodestoreturn.

Newton was wrong about gravity. Einstein was incomplete. What replaces them is stranger than both. For a century, physicists have shoved gravity into the same box as electromagnetism and the nuclear forces, hoping to find a particle called a graviton, that carries it. But, https://t.co/tge6mUtWgD #Gravity #Physics #Graviton #Therearenospecificcountriesmentionedinthetweet.

Physicists may have found the origin of gravity. And that would finally explain why gravity is different from the other forces of nature. https://t.co/CGUpOp8MGT #Gravity #Physics #Science #Thetweetdoesnotmentionanyspecificcountries.Therefore #therearenocountrycodestoreturn.

Penrose's argument, in a nutshell, is that since humans can understand Goedel's theorem, consciousness is uncomputable and physics incomplete. I've always found it quite charming, the idea that understanding Goedel's theorem is an indicator for consciousness, seeing how few #Gödel #Consciousness #Penrose #Thetweetdoesnotmentionanyspecificcountries.Therefore #therearenocountrycodestoreturn.

The Horizon of Reason: Finding Meaning in Atheism. Good day, everyone. When people hear the word "atheism," they often think of what it lacks. They focus on the prefixes and the definitions: a lack of belief in a deity. But to view atheism only as an absence is to miss the entire landscape of what it actually builds. Today, I want to talk about atheism not as a void, but as a vibrant, deeply responsible, and profoundly hopeful way of looking at our universe. At its core, atheism is a commitment to radical honesty. It is the decision to look at the vast, beautiful, and sometimes terrifying cosmos and say, "I do not know all the answers, and I will not invent stories to fill the gaps." Atheism relies on evidence, reason, and the scientific method. It is driven by the same curiosity that makes a child look through a microscope or a scientist peer through a telescope. It embraces uncertainty. In uncertainty, there is room for growth, discovery, and learning. When we accept that we do not have a cosmic blueprint, we become actively responsible for writing our own stories. A common misconception is that without a divine entity, there can be no morality. But atheism flips this dynamic. It suggests that kindness, empathy, and justice do not come from a fear of cosmic punishment or a desire for a heavenly reward. They come from us. We are kind to one another because we are social creatures who share this planet. We care for the sick because we know what pain feels like. We fight for justice because we want to live in a fair world. Our morality is human-centered. It is born from the profound realization that this life is all we have, and therefore, how we treat each other right now matters more than anything else. To an atheist, this life is not a dress rehearsal for an afterlife. It is the main event. This realization does not make life meaningless; it makes life infinitely more precious. Think about a rare gem. It is beautiful precisely because it is scarce. In the same way, a single human life—spanning just a few decades on a tiny blue planet—is a rare, breathtaking miracle of biology and physics. Because we believe this is our only chance, the time we spend with our families, the art we create, and the love we give become urgently important. We cannot afford to waste a single day. Atheism is not about tearing down anyone else's faith. It is about building up human potential. It is the belief that humanity is strong enough, smart enough, and kind enough to navigate the dark corners of the universe together, guided by reason and compassion. We are the authors of our purpose, the journey, life itself. We are the guardians of this planet. And we are the keepers of one another. Thank you.

A team of physicists say they have figured out the origin of causality. I've had a look at the paper. https://t.co/2Z2iOLiU6i #Causality #Physics #ScienceNews #Nospecificcountrycodescanbeidentifiedinthetweetprovided.

A physicist built a mini-universe out of cold atoms and used it to test where time comes from. It made big headlines a few weeks ago, and I almost skipped it, as most "universe in a lab" stories are nonsense. But then I actually read the paper. https://t.co/heoIeuM43n #Physics #MiniUniverse #TimeTheory #Nospecificcountrycodescanbeidentifiedinthistweet.

As long expected. It’s climate science 101. The vapor thirst of the atmosphere increases exponentially with temperature. A law of physics known since the early 19th C (Clausius–Clapeyron law). It causes more drought even if rainfall doesn’t decline. https://t.co/YVlzNhVsLA #ClimateScience #Drought #ClimateChange #Therearenospecificcountriesmentionedinthetweetyouprovided.Therefore #theresponseisempty.

Since the early days of quantum physics, some scientists have believed that there’s a link between quantum mechanics and consciousness. One of these ideas has recently received some experimental support, and no it's not Penrose's https://t.co/DqmHEeTQ9U #QuantumPhysics #Consciousness #ScienceNews #Nocountrycodesarepresentinthetweet.

One of the most popular ideas in physics right now is something named “ER = EPR.” This theory has it that entangled particles are actually linked by tiny, tiny wormholes. Recently, a group of physicists tested the idea. I've had a look. https://t.co/P2nQEVmfgM #Physics #Entanglement #Wormholes #Nospecificcountrycodescanbeextractedfromthetweetprovided.
