It feels so obvious that time moves forward that questioning it can seem almost pointless.

Physicists have recently uncovered a groundbreaking material known as “time crystals,” which challenges our conventional understanding of time and space. This discovery, rooted in quantum physics, ...

Exploring the BTZ black hole in (2+1)-dimensional gravity took me down a fascinating rabbit hole, connecting ideas I never expected—like black holes and topological phases in quantum matter! When I ...

One of the most awkward parts of writing a book is that, eventually, authors have to ask people for “blurbs” – the endorsements that you see on the cover of a book, encouraging you to buy it. I am now ...

Quantum mechanics and relativity are the two pillars of modern physics. However, for over a century, their treatment of space and time has remained fundamentally disconnected. Relativity unifies space ...

Whether space-time exists should neither be controversial nor even conceptually challenging, given the definitions of “space-time,” “events” and “instants.” The idea that space-time exists is no more ...

Space weather has matured from a niche concern to a central pillar of space exploration, national security, and scientific inquiry. In addition to its natural 11-year cycle of rising and falling ...

Time feels like the most basic feature of reality. Seconds tick, days pass, and everything from planetary motion to human memory seems to unfold along a single, irreversible direction. We are born and ...
