Q_1_09 Cosmology & Physics

Q_1_09 — Fate of the Universe

How will the universe end? This question has moved from philosophy and eschatology into hard physics, driven by the 1998 discovery that the universe's expansion is ACCELERATING (Riess et al. 1998; Perlmutter et al. 1999

Q_1_01 — The Anthropic Principle & Fine-Tuning of the Universe

The universe appears to be astonishingly fine-tuned for the existence of complex life. Alter the cosmological constant by 1 part in 10¹²⁰, or the strong nuclear force by 0.5%, or the ratio of electromagnetic to gravitati

Q_4_08 — String Theory: Landscape, Extra Dimensions, and M-Theory

String theory is the leading candidate for a unified theory of all fundamental forces and particles — a framework in which the fundamental entities are not point particles but tiny, one-dimensional vibrating strings (ope

Q_4_26 — Bose-Einstein Condensates: Physics and Applications

A Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) is a state of matter formed when a gas of bosons (particles with integer spin) is cooled to temperatures near absolute zero — typically below 1 microkelvin ($10^{-6}$ K) — causing a macro

Q_4_32 — The Fundamental Constants: Physics, Life, and Mathematics

The universe runs on numbers — and not arbitrary ones. A small set of fundamental constants, mostly dimensionless, determines every property of matter, energy, space, and time. Change any of them by a fraction and atoms

Q_2_07 — Cosmic Distance Ladder: Measuring the Universe

The cosmic distance ladder is a succession of techniques by which astronomers measure distances from nearby stars to the edge of the observable universe — each rung calibrates the next. Trigonometric parallax (reliable t

Q_3_05 — Olbers' Paradox and the Dark Night Sky

Olbers' paradox — named after German astronomer Heinrich Olbers (1826), though discussed earlier by Kepler (1610), Halley (1720), and de Chéseaux (1744) — asks: if the universe is infinite, static, and uniformly filled w
