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.

@amendlocke I miss the classical liberalism of Gladstone and Lloyd George.

An algorithm allows the states of certain quantum systems to be determined from data more quickly than was previously possible https://t.co/XTsU4Rl7la

@PhysicsMagazine The photo shows the Gravelly Hill Interchange of the M6 motorway in Birmingham, UK. It's also known as Spaghetti Junction.

@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

Not just a journal editor but a magazine writer too! Nice story by @RobertGaristo

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

It was a delight to work with Ivan on this fascinating article.

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”
