A new study reveals that Srinivasa Ramanujan’s century-old formulas for calculating pi unexpectedly emerge within modern theories of critical phenomena, turbulence, and black holes. In school, many of ...

Ramanujan's pi-computing machinery exactly mirrors the necessary structure in modern physical theories (LCFTs).

In at least one respect, all time loop stories repeat themselves endlessly. The protagonists — Bill Murray in “Groundhog Day,” Tom Cruise in “Edge of Tomorrow,” Andy Samberg in “Palm Springs” — start ...

Before Tara Selter, the protagonist of “On the Calculation of Volume,” a series by the Danish author Solvej Balle, gets trapped in a time loop, she is one half of a unit called T. & T. Selter. It’s a ...

The team demonstrated that even this information-based foundation cannot fully describe reality using computation alone. They used powerful mathematical theorems—including Gödel's incompleteness ...

Physics and Python stuff. Most of the videos here are either adapted from class lectures or solving physics problems. I really like to use numerical calculations without all the fancy programming ...

Wenrui Hao, professor of mathematics in the Penn State Eberly College of Science and 2025-26 Huck Leadership Fellow, has been named the new director for the Center for Mathematical Biology in the Huck ...

The amplituhedron is a geometric shape with an almost mystical quality: Compute its volume, and you get the answer to a central calculation in physics about how particles interact. Now, a young ...

Quantum physics books can seem overwhelming, but they don’t have to be. Whether you’re just starting out or you’ve been curious for a while, the right book can make all the difference. This list ...
