A Princeton scientist with an interdisciplinary bent has taken two well-known problems in mathematics and reformulated them as a physics question, offering new tools to solve challenges relevant to a ...

(via Sabine Hossenfelder) Positive Geometry is a recent approach to reformulate known physics and maybe even discover new physics. What is it and could it revolutionize physics? I’ve had a look and ...

Google updated its search engine and Lens tool with new features to help you visualize and solve problems in more difficult subjects like geometry, physics, trigonometry and calculus. The update ...

Physicists are quietly testing an audacious idea: that the mass of everything around us might not come from an invisible field, but from the hidden geometry of space itself. Instead of treating extra ...

Grigori Perelman electrified the mathematical world 3 years ago with his claim to have solved one of the most famous problems in mathematics (SN: 6/14/03, p. 378: If It Looks Like a Sphere…). The ...

Sunlight, moonlight, torchlight, and flashlight... They all come from different places, but they’re the very same thing: light! It’s what makes it possible for us to see the world around us, so it’s ...
