Massive Black Holes Shown to Act Like Quantum Particles

By CHARLIE WOOD

Physicists are using quantum math to understand what happens when black holes collide. In a surprise, they’ve shown that a single particle can describe a collision’s entire gravitational wave.

A Solution to the Faint-Sun Paradox Reveals a Narrow Window for Life

Podcast hosted by SUSAN VALOT;
Story by JONATHAN O’CALLAGHAN

When the sun was 30% dimmer, Earth seems like it should have been inhospitably frozen, but new work suggests that dimness may be why life exists here at all.

Around the Web

Strengthened Computing Beats the Heat
A new computing method called “momentum computing” may be able to reduce the amount of energy lost to heat by making computations reversible, writes Philip Ball for Scientific American. A typical computer works irreversibly because it erases memory to free up storage — increasing the entropy of the system. That insight was the key to resolving the Maxwell’s demon paradox, as Jonathan O’Callaghan explained for Quanta in 2021.

Waning COVID Vaccine Immunity
SARS-CoV-2 is far from exhausting its repertoire of pandemic tricks. Experts write for The New York Times that they expect the virus will continue evolving to evade our immune defenses and that we will need to get regular boosters as for the flu. The scientists reached those conclusions about what the coronavirus would do next in part by analyzing the “fitness landscape” of its potential mutations. Carrie Arnold reported on their work for Quanta in January.

Rupture

A convergence of breaking points demands choices about the future.

 

Nathan Gardels, Noema Editor-in-Chief

A rupture opens up a new space in place of the shattered status quo. It clears away illusions about an old order no longer fit for purpose and makes way for what has been incubating to emerge in clearer form. Above all, a rupture from the past demands choices about the foundations of the future. /.../
