I asked physicist Brian Greene in his live session:
“Do you think physics will ever have a complete theory that explains everything, or will there always be unanswered questions?”
He answered my question, and it was wonderful to hear his views on this topic. 🙂

This is the most detailed view of a human brain ever captured. It shows the complex connections of a single neuron with incredible clarity. Looks like the universe 🙂
This research gives scientists a better understanding of how the brain works and how diseases might affect it.

A century ago, in the summer of 1925, physicist Werner Heisenberg retreated to the island of Heligoland in the North Sea, seeking relief from severe hay fever. But what he found instead was a revolutionary idea. (1/n)

NASA is building its most ambitious space telescope yet — the Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) — designed to search for signs of life beyond our solar system.
It’s a bold step toward answering one of humanity’s biggest questions: Are we alone???

Wild! Scientists turned the world's largest X-ray laser on superheated gold and found that it had reached 33,000 degrees Fahrenheit without melting. The discovery seems to upend longstanding predictions of thermodynamics. www.scientificamerican.com/article/phys...

Curious how #NISAR works and how it observes Earth on a global scale?
Back in 2020, I asked exactly that to Paul Rosen, the Project Scientist for NISAR at NASA-JPL. In this insightful video, Paul explains how NISAR functions and how it will observe Earth on a global scale.

Albert Einstein at the age of 19, during his university years at the ETH in Zürich, Switzerland. Little did he know, those very thoughts about light's behavior at that time would later lead him to his groundbreaking special theory of relativity.
