The following is an excerpt from The Gravity of Math: How Geometry Rules the Universe by Steve Nadis and Shing-Tung Yau. Copyright 2024. Available from Basic Books ...
Scientists found exotic prime numbers may play a role in black hole physics, revealing a surprising connection between number theory and the extreme environments of the universe.
Gravity used to be the most down-to-earth of ideas, the thing that kept apples falling and planets in line. Now a growing group of physicists is treating it as a possible glitch report from the fabric ...
In the past quarter century, astronomical observations have led to discoveries that have literally transformed our conception of the universe. One such transformation occurred in 1998, when dark ...
The idea of emergent gravity is still new and requires a lot of assumptions in its calculations to make it work. But if experimental evidence ever proves it real, we would need to totally rewrite the ...
Science journalist Nadis and Tsinghua University mathematician Yau follow up 2019’s The Shape of a Life with an esoteric exploration of geometry’s role in explaining gravity and the structure of the ...
