Particles can have “spin,” “color” and “flavor.” To some, they might be formed from vibrating strings. Other researchers see them as holograms, just like space time.
What Is a Particle?
It has been thought of as many things: a pointlike object, an excitation of a field, a speck of pure math that has cut into reality. But never has physicists’ conception of a particle changed more…

Three words: pine, crab, sauce. There’s a fourth word that combines with the others to create another common word. What is it? When you finally get it, it may feel instantaneous. A recent study shows what happens in the brain during “aha” moments.

What distinguishes humanity? The answer has often come back to our language abilities. But some linguists think that eventually, AI will demonstrate an understanding of language that’s better than our own.

Loop quantum gravity has problems. Particle scattering seems to general infinite amounts of low-energy radiation. Solving the equations is extremely complicated. And there’s a lack of experimental support. But Carlo Rovelli sees hope on the horizon. www.quantamagazine.org/carlo-rovell...
