Q_1_05 Cosmology & Physics

Q_1_05 — Holographic Principle

The holographic principle proposes that all information contained within a volume of space can be encoded on the boundary surface of that region. First suggested by Gerard 't Hooft (1993) and developed by Leonard Susskin

Q_1_23 — White Holes: Theory and Implications

A white hole is the time-reversed analogue of a black hole — a theoretical spacetime region from which matter and light can emerge but into which nothing can enter, as opposed to a black hole's event horizon from which n

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_12 — Conformal Cyclic Cosmology: Penrose's Vision of Eternal Recurrence

Conformal Cyclic Cosmology (CCC), proposed by Roger Penrose in 2005, envisions the universe as an infinite sequence of "aeons" — each beginning with a Big Bang-like event and ending in an infinitely expanded, cold state

Q_4_22 — Tribology: Friction, Wear, and Lubrication

Tribology — the science of interacting surfaces in relative motion, encompassing friction, wear, and lubrication — was named by H. Peter Jost in a 1966 UK Department of Education and Science report estimating that improv

Q_4_07 — Entropy: Order, Disorder, and the Arrow of Time

Entropy is one of the most fundamental and far-reaching concepts in all of physics — a quantity that measures the number of microscopic configurations (microstates) consistent with a system's macroscopic properties (macr

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_4_12 — Optics: Refraction, Diffraction, and the Nature of Light

Optics — the science of light and vision — is one of the oldest branches of physics, with roots in ancient Greece, the Islamic Golden Age, and the European Scientific Revolution, and it remains central to modern technolo

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_01 — Black Holes, Singularities, and Information

Black holes are regions of spacetime where gravity is so extreme that nothing — not even light — can escape once it crosses the event horizon. Predicted by general relativity (Schwarzschild solution, 1916), regarded as m

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
