Could Stranger Things actually hint at real physics?
@lsuphysastro.bsky.social Prof. Jorge Pullin weighs in on the strange world of parallel universes and the real theories behind the hit series in Nature. 🧠✨
Turns out the Upside Down would be kind of boring.

Because liquids lack fixed structure, their ultrafast solute–solvent interactions have been difficult to observe. Researchers at Ohio State and @lsu.bsky.social now show that high-harmonic spectroscopy can capture molecular “handshakes.”@pnas.org https://www.lsu.edu/science/news/2025/12/hhs-pnas.php
