THEORETICAL PHYSICS | ALL TOPICS   Physicists Rewrite the Fundamental Law That Leads to Disorder By PHILIP BALL The second law of thermodynamics is among the most sacred in all of science, but it has always rested on 19th century arguments about probability. New arguments trace its true source to the flows of quantum information. Read the article

As physicists confront that failure, they’re reexamining a longstanding assumption: that big stuff consists of smaller stuff.

How Do Math Magicians Know What It Is? by Pradeep Mutalik QUANTA YOUTUBE CHANNEL   The Big Reveal of the Milky Way's Supermassive Black Hole Video by EMILY BUDER More than three years after the release of the first image of a black hole, scientists from the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) shared an image of the supermassive specimen at the center of our own Milky Way galaxy. In this video, EHT's scientists explain the science behind the big discovery.  Watch the video Around the Web Good Habits There is more to determining whether a planet is habitable than its proximity to its sun. For PBS Space Time Matt O’Dowd and Moiya McTier describe the “galactic habitable zone”: a range of distances from the galactic center with the right stellar densities and metallicities for life to thrive. Galactic-scale features also play a role in the propagation of life. In 2019 Rebecca Boyle wrote for Quanta about a simulation that showed that galaxy dynamics would aid potential alien civilizations in intragalactic travel. Constant Evaluation 100 years ago, Alexander Friedmann changed cosmology when he considered how the evolution of the universe would have changed if Einstein’s “cosmological constant” had different values, writes Tom Siegfried for Science News. Today we’re reasonably certain the cosmological constant is positive, but we don’t know its exact value. In a 2021 Quanta article, Charlie Wood wrote about how related issues might be solved if we give up the sacred cosmological principle: that the universe is homogeneous and isotropic.
