Mathematical Physics | Lie Groups 🌀

The universe contains many symmetries; some simple, like reflection and rotation, other more complicated.

Symmetries like these are hidden everywhere in physics.

What are some common symmetries in theoretical physics?

Merging supermassive black hole binaries are prime targets for next-generation gravitational wave astronomy.

New GPU-based 3D simulations by SXS researchers Elias Most & Hai-Yang Wang at @caltech.edu reveal strong magnetic fields arresting gas dynamics near the merger.

Anti-Aging Research | Telomeres 🧬

Telomeres are the protective caps at the end of our DNA that act as a buffer. Each time a cell divides, we lose a tiny fragment of our telomeres.

This is thought to play a role in aging. As our telomeres shorten, the cells can enter a state of senescence.
