(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 ...

What are your research topics? I study how mathematical objects of varying shapes and dimensions react to each other. For instance, can bodies be reshaped to exchange forms without breaking their ...

Physicists are exploring whether hidden dimensions and the shape of space could help explain why fundamental particles have ...

Two recent developments suggest how familiar properties of gravity and matter may emerge from the quantum geometry that underlies loop quantum gravity. In everyday situations, and even in current high ...

Have you ever tried searching Google for answers to your homework, and more specifically, math and science problems? Back in the day, this was a hard feat, as Google would only lead users to websites ...

Noncommutative geometry offers a radical reformulation of traditional geometrical concepts by replacing the classical notion of a manifold with a noncommutative algebra of coordinates. This approach ...

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 ...
