The last few postings here have been about rather technical problems with the conventional understanding of how spacetime symmetries and Wick rotation work in the Standard Model. These were written partly because I think these problems deserve to be better …
A recent search for “Niels Bohr Library” in ProQuest’s Dissertations & Theses Global database returned 160 results, with the earliest citations dating to 1966—just four years after the library’s founding. While not comprehensive, this set of dissertations and theses offers …

We are now at an exciting point in our process of developing quantum computers and understanding their computational power: It has been demonstrated that quantum computers can outperform classical ones (if you buy my argument from Parts 1 and 2 …
Using our observations and predictions based off of Einstein’s theory of general relativity, physicists are pretty sure that there’s a supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way. But according to a new paper, that prediction might be …

On the outskirts of our solar system, two enigmatic giants loom: Uranus and Neptune. In terms of mass and size, both resemble many of the exoplanets discovered in recent years. Within our own solar system, these planets are known as …
I’ve been trying to understand (not entirely successfully yet…) Wick rotation using hyperfunctions, which are a sort of distributions not as well-known as they should be. Some notes about them are in a separate pdf. What is well-known is that …
The AIP Niels Bohr Library & Archives is thrilled to announce that the Ronald E. Mickens Collection on African-American Physicists is now available on our digital repository. This is one of our most requested collections, and we are pleased to …
