Star and Galaxy Formation in the Early Universe
Okay, so we are about 150 million years into the lifetime of the universe. We've got a bunch of hydrogen and helium and not much else. But then gravity takes over, and boom! We've got stars! How, you ask? Well you'd better watch this!

Particle accelerators: What are they, how do they work and why are they important to us?
A particle accelerator is a machine that accelerates particles. More specifically, it accelerates elementary particles, like protons and electrons, at extremely high speeds—almost 99.99% of the speed of light. These particles are then...

A problem with Bohmian Mechanics Contextuality
Contextuality might mean that there are no alternatives to Quantum mechanics that are sensible. Given Quantum isnt sensible either, there may just not be any sensible theories at all.

Quantum Entanglement: Explained in REALLY SIMPLE Words
Quantum entanglement is a physical resource, like energy, that is possible between quantum systems. When a coin spins on a flat surface, it’s in a state of superposition between its two faces—head and tails. Similarly, electrons in their...
