Black holes: the meeting of gravity and quantum physics

Futurum

Published: We know that black holes exist through a mix of complex mathematics and astrophysics but linking mathematical ideas to what we can observe in the Universe is no easy task. Quantum physics — the study of matter and energy at the most fundamental level, where matter behaves both like particles and waves.

Imaging the invisible: how can research software and imaging techniques help scientists study the things we can’t see?

Futurum

Scientific model — a conceptual or mathematical representation of a real-world phenomenon that allows scientists to study the phenomenon in more detail. Scientists can now turn their theories into mathematical models, which can then be expressed in software as simulations. Biology with Professor Michelle Peckham and Dr Alistair Curd.

How Did We Get Here? The Tangled History of the Second Law of Thermodynamics

Stephen Wolfram

But by the end of the 1800s, with the existence of molecules increasingly firmly established, the Second Law began to often be treated as an almost-mathematically-proven necessary law of physics. There were still mathematical loose ends, as well as issues such as its application to living systems and to systems involving gravity.
