  • 3 Ways Black Holes Could Break Physics

    3 Ways Black Holes Could Break Physics

    What if the Earth were swallowed by a black hole? Would humanity’s legacy be gone forever? Or could you somehow get back that information from behind the event horizon?

    There are three possible answers to this question…but they all break physics as we know it!

    More details:
    #1. Speed of sound: Unlike light, sound needs a medium to travel through, and its speed depends on characteristics of that medium like density and temperature. In the extreme environment of a neutron star’s core, sound can travel extremely fast. But knowing that sound can’t surpass the speed of light, physicists can narrow down their models of neutron stars to include only those where “extremely fast” is less than light speed.

    #2. Invisibility: The invisibility lens pictured in the video was developed at the University of Rochester. For more on how it works: http://www.rochester.edu/newscenter/watch-rochester-cloak-uses-ordinary-lenses-to-hide-objects-across-continuous-range-of-angles-70592/

  • How to See Quantum with the Naked Eye

    How to See Quantum with the Naked Eye

    How can you train yourself to be a quantum detector? Quantum interactions happen at impossibly small scales. But the life-size effects are all around you. You can detect quantum mechanics all over — if you know how to look for it.

    Check out https://www.youtube.com/user/EugeneKhutoryansky, who was kind enough to share his water wave animation with us.

    ADVANCED SCIENTIFIC NOTE: Quantum mechanics would be much more obvious if we had very sensitive eyes. If your eyes identified each photon individually, you would see them land as described in the video, and only build up to this wave pattern. The pattern that we see can be explained classically by waves, it is *ultimately* a quantum phenomenon. The only reason it’s hard to tell is because our light detectors (eyes) aren’t quite sensitive enough.
