Should We Build a Dyson Sphere? | Space Time | PBS Digital Studios

PBS Space Time · 3 min read

Dyson spheres—giant shells meant to harvest a star’s full power—are physically implausible, mainly because no known material could survive the...

What If Gravity is NOT Quantum?

PBS Space Time · 2 min read

The strongest takeaway is that the most direct way to prove gravity is quantum—detecting a single graviton—runs into a hard physical wall: the...

Physicists find a Dark Matter Clump near us!

Sabine Hossenfelder · 2 min read

A reported dark-matter “subhalo” only about 3,000 light-years away—inside the Milky Way—would be a major breakthrough if confirmed, because it would...
