New research from UBC Okanagan mathematically demonstrates that the universe cannot be simulated. Using Gödel’s ...

If so, laws might change when the universe itself changes phase. In the early universe, as temperatures and densities shifted, forces split apart from a unified origin. What we call “laws” may be like ...

Physicist Mir Faizal, Adjunct Professor with UBC Okanagan’s Irving K. Barber Faculty of Science, was not out to shatter the dreams of science fiction enthusiasts when he began to study the limits of ...

Recent discoveries in cosmology have left scientists scratching their heads, as they challenge our fundamental understanding ...

No one knows for sure, but it is not unlikely that the universe is constructed in a completely different way than the usual theories and models of today predict. The most widely used model today ...

What if the bridge between our worlds isn’t language at all, but physics? In a recent episode of SETI Live, theoretical physicist Dr. Daniel Whiteson, co-author of Do Aliens Speak Physics?: And Other ...

Mikhail Ivanov, Oliver Philcox, and Marko Simonović won the New Horizons Award for their work on large scale structures — the strands and filaments of our universe which contain buried clues to its ...

The particles that are in an atom: protons, neutrons and electrons The particles that are in protons and neutrons: quarks The four fundamental forces: gravity, electromagnetism, the strong force and ...

So, assuming both the CMB measurements and the new JWST/Hubble measurements are accurate, the Hubble constant isn't constant? Click to expand... The Hubble constant is the current value of the Hubble ...

Fundamental questions that particle physicists have pondered for decades might be answered when a $9.2 million neutron physics beam line is built at the Department of Energy’s Spallation Neutron ...
