| | | | | From the outside it might seem like physics and mathematics are a match made in heaven. In practice, it feels more like physicists are given a very short blanket made of math, and when they stretch it to cover their heads, their feet are freezing, and vice versa. Physicists turn reality into numbers. They process... | |

| | | | | 4gravitons has proposed a challenge: To explain scientific papers appearing on arXiv on a given day in a given (sub)field to a general audience. The challenge is directed towards fellow science communicators so that definitely excludes me. But one of my old year thoughts (turned to a new year resolution) for this blog was to... | |

| | | | | I've said something like this before, but here's another way to say it. The problem of quantum gravity is one of the most famous problems in physics. You've probably heard someone say that quantum mechanics and general relativity are fundamentally incompatible. Most likely, this was narrated over pictures of a foaming, fluctuating grid of space-time.... | |

| | | One of the most exciting areas of technology development, but that doesn't get a ton of mainstream media coverage, is the race to build a working quantum computer that exhibits "below threshold quantum computing" - the ability to do calculations utilizing quantum mechanics accurately. One of the key limitations to achieving this has been the... | ||
