Over the years, physicists have become increasingly enamored with “quantum weirdness,” the many strange features of quantum mechanics that are extremely hard to explain. In a new paper, a group of researchers have tried to cut through the weirdness. www.youtube.com/watch?v=SMXq...

A physicist built a mini-universe out of cold atoms and used it to test where time comes from. It made big headlines a few weeks ago, and I almost skipped it, as most "universe in a lab" stories are nonsense. But then I actually read the paper. Let's take a look. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bce-...

Putin's former thesis advisor is convinced that oil never runs out, and Russia is now drilling 8 kilometres into the ground to prove him right. Is there really infinite oil down there, or is Russia about to end up with a very expensive hole? Let's take a look. www.youtube.com/watch?v=oBUK...

Everywhere, it turns out, is warming faster than the rest of the world. Every region, every country, all of them, faster than the rest. You may sense a slight problem with this. The headlines are real, the papers are real, and yet something doesn't add up. www.youtube.com/watch?v=j9cD...

One of the biggest limitations of quantum quantum computing is the “no cloning” theorem, which says you cannot copy a quantum state without destroying the original. In a recent paper, physicists have demonstrated that there’s a way around the “no cloning” limitations. www.youtube.com/watch?v=gR99...

A new, computer-based calculation shows that our solar system used to have 5 or 6, rather than 4 gas giants. It seems that, billions of years ago, we lost two planets due to an instability that probably also tilted Uranus’s axis and scrambled up its moons. www.youtube.com/watch?v=XcHR...

It's classic gold rush economics - a lucky few made a fortune, but on average people made far more money selling equipment and services to the gold rushers. The difference here is once cracked fusion power is effectively an unlimited resource unlike gold.
