The 6 biggest glitches in physics
That’s odd… from inexplicable particle decays to an axis of evil stretching across the universe, evidence of strange new physics could be all around us. (Image: Oska)
That’s odd: Unruly penguins hint where all the antimatter went
Rare “penguin” particle decays should all happen at the same rate. They don’t – perhaps providing a clue to why we live in a universe made of matter
That’s odd: Axis of evil stretches across the cosmos
Unexplained waves disrupt the smooth sea of radiation left over from the big bang. They could be evidence of cosmic complications we can’t see
That’s odd: Missing neutrinos may be shapeshifters
Neutrinos are already the universe’s most slippery customers – but blips in the data say they may be morphing into something even more intangible
That’s odd: Quantum entanglement mangles space and time
Spooky action at a distance – the dislocated effect of the quantum world – is real without a doubt. So the problem must lie in our perception of space and time
That’s odd: Why is gravity so weak?
Why isn’t an entire planet’s gravity enough to rip a magnet off your fridge door? Finding an answer is essential to unify physics and explain our existence
That’s odd: Weirdly energetic arrivals from outer space
Whether fast radio bursts or ultra-high-energy neutrinos, we’ve begun receiving cosmic visitors so zippy no one can work out exactly what sent them
