New Theory Casually Upends Space and Time:

"The two theorists, Larry Silverberg and Jeffrey Eischen, suggest that fragments of
energy, rather than waves or particles, may be the fundamental building blocks of
the universe.

The bedrock of their theory is the foundational idea that energy is always flowing
through space and time. The authors suggest thinking of energy as lines that enter
and exit a region of space, never crossing each other, and with no beginning or end
point."

How useful for sending space probes to other planets?

Accessing the arches of chaos in the solar system for fast transport:

"In a new report now published on Science Advances, Nataša Todorović and a team of
researchers in Serbia and the U.S. revealed a notable and unexpected ornamental
structure of manifolds in the solar system. This architecture was connected in a series of
arches spreading from the asteroid belt to Uranus and beyond. The strongest manifolds
were found linked to Jupiter with profound control on small bodies across a wide and
previously unknown range of three-body energies. The orbits of these manifolds
encountered Jupiter on rapid time-scales to transform into collisional or escaping
trajectories to reach Neptune's distance merely within a decade. In this way, much like a
celestial highway, all planets generate similar manifolds across the solar system for fast
transport throughout."

No more causality?


Quantum Mischief Rewrites the Laws of Cause and Effect

"Spurred on by experiments that scramble the ordering of causes and their effects, some
physicists are figuring out how to abandon causality altogether."

It does coincide nicely with the concept of Time being non-linear.

This Experiment Could Show Whether Information is a ‘Fifth Element’

"A newly proposed experiment could prove (or disprove) that information itself is the
fifth element of physical matter. At present, solid, liquid, gas, and plasma represent the
four known states of matter. However, the latest proposal posits that information is a
separate, fifth matter state, which also has its own mass.

Dr. Melvin Vopson from the University of Portsmouth has already published work
theorizing that elementary particles of matter that form the building blocks of the
universe store information about themselves, similar to how each cell of living
organisms carries a copy of its DNA blueprint. Furthermore, Dr. Vopson has published
work postulating that this information has mass.

Of course, based on current physics, all matter is either solid, liquid, gas, or plasma,
with the latter making up as much as 99% of the matter in the universe. A lot of time
and money has been invested in the search for something called dark matter, but thus
far that search has come up empty. Now, this latest proposal by Vopson seeks to
prove once and for all that information itself is a physical thing that even has mass."

New Superluminal Theory Transforms Our Concept of Time with “Extension” of
Special Relativity


"Theoretical physicists from Warsaw and Oxford universities argue that a superluminal world
possessing three temporal dimensions and one dimension in space could potentially change
our concept of time, according to a new paper.

The researchers involved say they have developed “an extension of special relativity” that
incorporates three individual time dimensions with a single space dimension, which helps
explain how observations made by “superluminal” observers—inertial observers moving faster
than the speed of light—might appear.

Within such a framework, the researchers argue that spontaneous events that can occur in
the absence of a deterministic cause and other strange phenomena would be experienced by
observers moving faster than the speed of light within a vacuum, concepts that potentially
transform our concept of time as we know it."

Government Scientists Discover Entirely New Kind of Quantum
Entanglement in Breakthrough


"Scientists at Brookhaven National Laboratory have uncovered an entirely new kind
of quantum entanglement, a phenomenon that causes particles to become weirdly
linked, even across vast cosmic distances, reports a new study. The discovery
allowed them to capture an unprecedented glimpse of the bizarre world inside
atoms, the tiny building blocks of matter.

The mind-bending research resolves a longstanding mystery about the nuclei of
atoms, which contain particles called protons and neutrons, and could help shed light
on topics ranging from quantum computing to astrophysics."

Requiem for a string: Charting the rise and fall of a
theory of everything


"String theory began over 50 years ago as a way to understand the strong nuclear
force. Since then, it’s grown to become a theory of everything, capable of
explaining the nature of every particle, every force, every fundamental constant,
and the existence of the Universe itself. But despite decades of work, it has failed
to deliver on its promise.

What went wrong, and where do we go from here?"

Why More Physicists Are Starting to Think Space and Time Are ‘Illusions’

"What’s interesting is that while originally ideas were often developed in the context of string theory, they seem to have outgrown string theory, and strings play no role anymore in the most recent research. A common thread now seems to be that space and time are not considered fundamental anymore. Contemporary physics doesn’t start with space and time to continue with things placed in this preexisting background. Instead, space and time themselves are considered products of a more fundamental projector reality."

A New 'Dark Energy' Discovery Might Have Just Revolutionized Our
Idea of the Universe


"A pair of new papers published by a team of 17 international scientists offers the first
observational evidence of a source for dark energy. According to the team, after poring
over data covering 9 billion years of cosmic evolution, the most likely answer is black
holes—but not how you probably understand them.

“If the theory holds, then this is going to revolutionize the whole of cosmology, because
at last we've got a solution for the origin of dark energy that's been perplexing
cosmologists and theoretical physicists for more than 20 years," study co-author Chris
Pearson, from RAL Space in the UK, said in a statement."

A Growing Number of Scientists Are Convinced the Future
Influences the Past


"But what if this forward causality could somehow be reversed in time, allowing
actions in the future to influence outcomes in the past? This mind-bending idea,
known as retrocausality, may seem like science fiction grist at first glance, but
it is starting to gain real traction among physicists and philosophers, among
other researchers, as a possible solution to some of the most intractable riddles
underlying our reality.

In other words, people are becoming increasingly “retro-curious,” said Kenneth
Wharton, a professor of physics at San Jose State University who has published
research about retrocausality, in a call with Motherboard. Even though it may
feel verboten to consider a future that affects the past, Wharton and others
think it could account for some of the strange phenomena observed in quantum
physics, which exists on the tiny scale of atoms."
