Q_1_07 Cosmology & Physics

Q_1_07 — CMB Anomalies and the Axis of Evil

The Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) — the afterglow of the Big Bang, emitted ~380,000 years after the universe began — is the most precisely measured radiation in the history of science. It matches the theoretical pred

Q_1_18 — Loop Quantum Gravity: Discrete Spacetime and the Planck Scale

Loop Quantum Gravity (LQG) is one of two major approaches (alongside string theory) to the quantization of general relativity — the long-sought unification of quantum mechanics and Einstein's theory of gravity. LQG's fou

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_4_31 — Water Memory, Anomalous Properties, and Homeopathy Critique

The "water memory" hypothesis — the claim that water retains a structural or informational imprint of substances previously dissolved in it, even after dilution past Avogadro's number — sits at the center of one of 20th-

Q_4_28 — Tachyon Physics: Theoretical Possibility

Tachyons are hypothetical particles that travel faster than the speed of light, first given rigorous theoretical treatment by Gerald Feinberg of Columbia University in 1967. The concept builds on a peculiar feature of sp

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_11 — Stellar Populations, Metallicity, and Generations

Stars preserve the chemical fingerprint of the gas from which they formed, making them archaeological records of the universe's chemical history. Walter Baade (1944) recognized two distinct stellar populations: Populatio

Q_2_06 — Nucleosynthesis: How the Elements Were Forged

Every element in the periodic table has a specific cosmic origin story. Big Bang nucleosynthesis (BBN) produced hydrogen, helium, and traces of lithium in the first 20 minutes after the Big Bang. Stellar nucleosynthesis

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_2_09 — Binary Star Systems and X-Ray Sources

Most stars in the Milky Way exist in binary or multiple-star systems — estimates range from ~50% for solar-type stars to >70% for massive O/B stars. Binary star interactions drive some of the most energetic phenomena in
