I looked at the cases of vanishing scientists in the US and have to admit... it's very odd. Here are my thoughts. www.youtube.com/watch?v=WEnv...

According to the New York Post, the U.S. used a “long-range quantum magnetometer” that can “find the electromagnetic fingerprint of a human heartbeat” in its Easter weekend operation to rescue an F-15 weapons systems officer. What might it be? www.youtube.com/watch?v=uTiR...

My brother found a radioactive box in the basement 😱 ! The device is from Radiacode, it's a super handy radiation detector that comes with a phone app, I have one, too. Get 5% off radiacode.com?discount=SAB... (sponsored link)

A group of astrophysicists says that we have overestimated the mass in galaxy clusters and we might not need dark matter after all, modified gravity will do the job www.youtube.com/watch?v=ia4h...

Quantum Computers are Becoming Dangerous Quickly www.youtube.com/watch?v=qV7h...

Can we now simulate a human brain? Sabine @hossenfelder.bsky.social checks out the claim which is technically, well, not quite wrong. New hardware is capable of modelling a neural network of 80 billion neurons—the number in a human brain. If only we knew what ours looks like. buff.ly/CztanJO

String theory has changed the foundations of physics profoundly, and I for one am worried about its legacy. www.youtube.com/watch?v=1mgx...

A group of physicists argues that the 2nd law of thermodynamics is circular. I've had a look. www.youtube.com/watch?v=x5sR...

The current status of academic publishing is miserable, and many people believe that the rise of AI will only make that worse. While they might be right in the short term, I think that in the long run, AI will help science. Let’s take a look. www.youtube.com/watch?v=x3OY...

In this video I explain why I think it’s wrong to believe that the speed of light is an impossible to overcome limit. I am afraid that this is the biggest mistake that physicists are making, that indeed our entire species is making. www.youtube.com/watch?v=B7Pc...

The North Pole is moving and no one knows why www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZvYF...

I have been alerted that the energy industry will soon be revolutionized by new technology to extract energy from the vacuum. I had a look at the paper. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxc8...

A group of physicists say they have figured out how reality emerges from quantum mechanics www.youtube.com/watch?v=13S9...

Researchers say that they’ve found a material that can reduce friction to almost zero. I've had a look. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_MO8...

What is space, really? That’s one of the biggest questions in science. According to a pair of researchers from the Perimeter Institute, the answer to that is: a quasicrystal. What is a quasicrystal, and how is space a quasicrystal? Let’s take a look. www.youtube.com/watch?v=0azO...

What if the AI bubble is rational? www.youtube.com/watch?v=MNNs...

In a recent paper, scientists at Microsoft revealed that they’ve found a way to store data for more than 10000 years by laser-etching pieces of glass. There are also a few other interesting ways that researchers are improving other storage technologies. www.youtube.com/watch?v=aCma...

Do we live in a computer simulation? So far this question has been pursued mostly by philosophers because it was just too vague to make scientific sense of it. But this situation has changed now. www.youtube.com/watch?v=UbIn...

The Milky Way might not have a black hole after all. www.youtube.com/watch?v=roNZ...

The first ever human spacecraft to land on the moon wasn’t Apollo 11 – it was the Soviet Luna 9 probe, which touched down three years before the Apollo lander. For decades, researchers have for some reason been unable to track down its location … up until now. www.youtube.com/watch?v=rrRa...

If the headlines are to be believed, kids these days are getting dumber. Some of the data – which indicate that Gen Z individuals are performing worse than their parents in standardized testing – backs this claim up, but this isn’t the full story. www.youtube.com/watch?v=n9lm...

"it’s not so much that theory..disappears, but that we can leave it to AI to develop. It’s theorists that disappear, not theory" "I’ve already talked a few times about how AI is taking over maths. This is no longer hypothetical, it’s happening. And theoretical physics is next, we can see it coming"

Finally a clue to the Havana Syndrome mystery www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rd1e...

Fusion reactors, according to a recently published paper, could produce theoretical particles that might make up dark matter. I've had a look at the paper. www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRKx...

How AI is bringing on the "End of Theory" www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jvga...

I used to think that quantum computing's threat for bitcoin is a far-fetched worry (and not my problem anyway) but I have recently changed my mind. www.youtube.com/watch?v=rjYF...

Nuclear fusion breaks multiple records. What does it mean? www.youtube.com/watch?v=IuMW...

A group of physicists say they found a solution to the problem of singularities in Einstein's theory. www.youtube.com/watch?v=b86Y...

One of my favorite videos of hers this year. Being a natural geometric savant (yes I was an autistic study kid of the 80s) I find their work fascinating though Exceptional Lia algebra frameworks though so few take this route. Even less also do work rectifying it with Teleparallel gravity work.

I'm in the "Epstein files." @hossenfelder.bsky.social I got some questions about the appearance of my name in Jeffrey Epstein's inbox. Turns out to be about... quantum gravity, unbelievable as that sounds. Here is the story and why I am still pissed off about this. youtu.be/ZxxNENOBD6w

Is the scare about plastic nano- and micro particles’ impact on human health justified? @hossenfelder.bsky.social takes a look and finds that the evidence for significant detrimental effects is weak or dubious, or non-existent: youtu.be/pyGvCtkIuDk

Today I talk about how more quantum computing use cases are disappearing, and an unexpected problem with quantum computing in general. www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-9m...

According to a new paper published by a group of astrophysicists, simulations seem to indicate that our galaxy cluster exists in a thin area of highly concentrated dark matter, which itself is located between two voids of dark matter. www.youtube.com/watch?v=BHAO...

Humanity is on its way to prevent space travel for a long time. Good for the aliens, I would say. Side note: GPS and internet access might be affected or even destroyed, in the long term, too...

Over the past few months, we’ve seen a growing number of headlines claiming that AI has solved math theorems that have remained unsolved for decades. Is this true? And if so, does this mean mathematicians will soon find themselves out of a job? Let’s take a look. www.youtube.com/watch?v=IKjf...
