Schrödinger’s Jew: How antisemitism is more absurd than quantum mechanics - opinion

Schrödinger’s cat is a famous thought experiment used to describe the complex nature of quantum mechanics, but it can also be used to explain the incoherent nature of antisemites.

Hubble findings deepen mystery surrounding galaxy missing dark matter

The search is on for more galaxies lacking dark matter, with more work needed in order to understand how these galaxies formed without dark matter.

This Hubble Space Telescope snapshot reveals an unusual "see-through" galaxy.

CERN data suggests existence of 'new physics'

"This new result offers tantalizing hints of the presence of a new fundamental particle or force that interacts differently with these different types of particles."
