Dark matter may escape, but dark photons can’t. Here’s how MADMAX could catch them
Dark matter may escape, but dark photons can’t. Here’s how MADMAX could catch them Everything we visualize about space, including stars, planets, gases, and even galaxies, make up just a fraction of the universe’s composition. The rest is hidden in plain sight, or rather, hidden in the shadows as dark matter and dark energy. While […]
New quantum gravity theory brings the world closer to ‘Theory of Everything’
New Quantum Gravity Theory Brings the World Closer to ‘Theory of Everything’ A unified theory of everything has long eluded scientists due to gravity being irreconcilable with the principles of quantum mechanics. However, recent advancements in the field of quantum gravity have reignited hope for a breakthrough that could finally bridge the gap between these […]
