What We Will Never Know
There is a realm the laws of physics forbid us from accessing, below the resolving power of our most powerful microscopes and beyond the reach of our most sensitive telescopes. There’s no telling what might exist there — perhaps entire universes.

Young Physicists Are Shaping the Next Generation of Discoveries
This autumn, a global collaboration of scientists released a measurement that had the potential to turn physics’ most important theory on its head. The number they revealed described the behaviour of a subatomic particle known as the muon, and the big question was whether the measurement would fit with the predictions of the Standard Model…

Physics Mystery Gets Even Deeper After Long-Awaited Muon Reveal
Inside a locked cabinet, an envelope held a number that was poised to rock the physics community, regardless of its contents. The value, a clock measurement deliberately hidden to keep physicists’ data analysis unbiased, would be used in a calculation that could either bring one of particle physics’ foremost mysteries to an end — or…
