2021's Biggest Breakthroughs in Physics
It was a big year. Fermilab discovered possible evidence of new physics with the muon G-2 experiment. Physicists created a time crystal, a new phase of matter that appears to violate one of nature’s most cherished laws. And we got a glimpse of an enormous pair of bubbles towering over the Milky Way.

Is Time Fundamental and Space just an Illusion? - Fotini Markopoulou
"How deep goes time? Is time bedrock reality, part of the fundamental fabric of reality? Or is time an emergent thing, generated by deeper truths of existence? What is the place of time in deep physical laws like relativity and quantum mechanics? Can we get to the bottom of time? Fotini Goes on to explain how space is just an emergent property and time is eternal."

Is the Cosmos a Computer? - Leonard Susskind
"That the cosmos is a computer sounds like a modern metaphor, a way of explaining how things work. But some make a bolder claim: that the cosmos is, in reality, a computer, not just as a metaphor. This would mean that all that exists in the physical universe is in essence the computational process of the universe itself generating itself. Does that make sense?"

Why Did Our Universe Begin?
Sir Roger Penrose brings about the uncanny similarity between the Universe just before the Big Bang and the Universe after the death of the last black hole. He goes on to make the case that "the Gravitational impression observed in the microwave background radiation could, in fact, be the gravitational fingerprint of dying black holes".

General Relativity: An Introduction for Physicists
by
M.P. Hobson, G.P. Efstathiou, and A.N. Lasenby
Book provides a clear mathematical introduction to Einstein's theory of general relativity. It presents a wide range of applications of the theory, concentrating on its physical consequences. After reviewing the basic concepts, the authors present a clear and intuitive discussion of the mathematical background, including the necessary tools of tensor calculus and differential geometry. These tools are then used to develop the topic of special relativity and to discuss electromagnetism in Minkowski spacetime. Gravitation as spacetime curvature is then introduced and the field equations of general relativity derived.4 647

How to Teach Quantum Physics to Your Dog
by
Chad Orzel
When Quantum Physics expert Dr. Chad Orzel went to adopt a dog he never imagined he would end up with one as inquisitive as Emmy. Could she use quantum tunneling to get through the neighbor's fence and chase bunnies? What about quantum teleportation to catch squirrels before they climb out of reach? In this witty and informative book, Orzel and Emmy - the talking dog - discuss the key theories of Quantum Physics and its fascinating history. From quarks and gluons to Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, this is the perfect introduction to the fundamental laws which govern the universe.4 647

Does Math Reveal Reality?
Mathematics has an uncanny ability to describe the physical world. It elegantly explains and predicts features of space, time, matter, energy, and gravity. But is this magnificent scientific articulation an invention of the human mind or is mathematics indelibly imprinted upon the substrate of reality? Bryan Greene and leading thinkers parse the thorny problems of math’s existence.
Moderator: Brian Greene
Featuring: David Z. Albert, Sheldon Goldstein, Silvia Jonas, and Max Tegmark

Exploring The Dark Side Of The Universe | Discussion 🔭🌌
w/ Keshav Space — Known matter particles account for only ~5% of the cosmos. The rest of 'Dark matter' and 'Dark energy' is invisible. But what is this dark stuff? How do we know it’s there? And what does it do?
