Are the gravitational anomalies attributed to dark matter due to WIMPs, axions, primordial black holes, modified gravity or something else? Take Physics Magazine's survey for a chance weigh in on this and other big questions.

A new method for fixing errors in quantum computations can be just as accurate as previous approaches while needing fewer resources https://t.co/UTyIVMNHVe
@fortcircle I agree that Jimi's version is a masterpiece. But Dylan's title is crap. A watchtower is narrow. How can you be "all along" one? And it what's up with princes keeping view? They'd have their underlings on watch.
The Mpemba effect is the surprising observation that warm water can freeze faster than cold water. Three research teams have explored quantum analogs of this effect, with implications for quantum thermodynamics https://t.co/yFi3FqEPfU

Observations of the cosmic microwave background favor just one quantum field driving cosmic inflation but more fields are possible and even likely. Now Koki Tokeshi and Vincent Vennin have devised an explanation for how a single field came to predominate. https://t.co/mdos483Zh6
Earlier today I tapped my phone to check the time. It said 17:28, which instantly brought back to my mind a paper I'd written in 1990 about the x-ray binary star system MXB 1728-34. https://t.co/XBwi6Ozfxo
Hidden kinetics of network growth.
1/2 Excited to share this viewpoint on a recent PRL, where Fragkiskos Papadopoulos and his team show how strange, sub-diffusive kinetics shape the growth of networks endowed with a latent geometry!

Researchers have succeeded in recasting the discrete dynamics of a network as a continuous time series, thereby making the network’s behavior potentially more predictable.

My latest: CERN is pushing to build a new 90km megacollider. Germany, which contributes more than 20% of CERN’s budget, says it “cannot support funding of the project at this point”
