In this chapter we attempt to unravel the space physics paradox by reviewing the findings from our earlier chapters and revisiting the big science/little science controversy. We have assembled our ...

These paradoxes aren’t philosophical word games — they emerge directly from equations physicists rely on every day. Schrödinger’s wave function mathematically permits multiple simultaneous states, ...

As if the concept of quantum tunneling—where atoms pass through barriers—isn't confusing enough, one of the vexing questions within that area of physics is why particles seem to travel faster than the ...

There’s a dilemma which comes from a crocodile attack? Hedonism isn’t as pleasurable as it seems? Here are 25 paradoxes that ...

until I go off on a tangent* which I tend to do. I won’t blame this tendency on the pandemic, Trump, or both, it’s just how my mind works. Tangent has a dual meaning apropos to this diary. Remember ...

A paradox that puzzled a generation of solar and atomic physicists – and occasionally pitted theories from one field against the other – has been resolved. The paradox concerns the polarization of ...

A University of Hawaiʻi at Hilo physics professor has published a surprising way to resolve an old physics paradox in the September 2023 issue of International Journal of Theoretical Physics, a ...
