#Physicists find evidence that the universe isn't perfectly uniform — potentially unraveling a 100-year-old model of #cosmology
The universe may not be perfectly uniform after all. The analyses revealed mild-but-intriguing deviations from the predictions of the #standardmodel. "We saw a surprising violation of an FLRW curvature consistency test, hinting at new #physics beyond the standard model," study co-author Asta Heinesen reports.

Physicists find evidence that the universe isn't perfectly uniform — potentially unraveling a 100-year-old model of cosmology

The universe may not be perfectly uniform after all, a new series of papers hints. If confirmed, this could upend a nearly 100-year-old model of cosmology.

Physicists revive 1990s laser concept to propose a next-generation atomic clock

Researchers in the US and Germany have unveiled a theoretical blueprint for an atomic clock driven by a highly synchronized laser, where atoms work in concert rather than independently. Publishing their results in Physical Review Letters, Jarrod Reilly at the University of Colorado, Simon Jäger at the University of Bonn, and their colleagues in the US and Germany revived an idea first proposed in the 1990s—possibly charting a course toward the narrowest-linewidth lasers ever achieved.

Hey #physicists. Could there be a kind of quark matter (maybe with top quarks) that was so dense a lump of it could fit inside its own Schwartzschild radius?

If so, from outside the event horizon, how would that even in principle be distinguishable from a black hole with a singularity inside?

Based on hard #sciencefiction, a genre that prioritizes scientific accuracy, the blockbuster gets a lot right but misses a few things, experts say.
Armchair #physicists and even some actual physicists have powered countless online threads with questions around interstellar travel, alien life and why Grace, who has a doctorate in microbiology, can’t seem to balance a centrifuge.
