A star is born – using next generation telescopes to explore star formation

Futurum

The PAF technology is brand-new in radio astronomy and provides a significant upgrade on traditional radio telescopes, which have only a few receivers, at most. Astrophysics courses at university usually start with lots of mathematics and physics before specialising into more advanced physics and astrophysics.

On the Nature of Time

Stephen Wolfram

But while this may be a useful mathematical description, it’s not telling us anything about what time in a sense “intrinsically is”. One of the longstanding confusions about the nature of time has to do with its “mathematical similarity” to space. But what about our experience, say, of mathematics?

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.
