Benjamin Labatut has written an utterly haunting novella about science | New Scientist (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There are two ends of science. At one end is a great lumbering machine where equations and numbers are fed in, and bullets, nerve gas and nuclear warheads come out. At the other end is an undeniable truth about the universe and our place within it. Benjamín Labatut thinks we should be terrified of both. When We Cease to Understand the World is a novella that explores what happens when science unravels its own core conceit: that we can understand reality. It combines the Lovecraftian terror of de
Do we live in a simulation? If so, it could be a giant consciousness experiment | New Scientist (opens the original)

Children will deploy all sorts of tactics to avoid going to bed. Catherine Heymans’s youngest had a canny one: to distract his mum, an astronomer at the University of Edinburgh, UK, he asked her meaty questions about science. One night a few years ago, he posed one of the oldest chestnuts of all: could the reality we live in be a simulation? For most parents, this would have been the cue to switch off the bedroom light. For Heymans, who is also Astronomer Royal for Scotland, the question was har
Why Martin Gardner’s The Ambidextrous Universe is a masterpiece of science writing | New Scientist (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I have a gripe with a certain kind of popular science book about physics, maths and, occasionally, chemistry. They seem to be written for people who don’t really want to encounter any physics, maths or chemistry at all. Numbers are whisked away. Graphs disappear. Probabilities, vectors and fields are mentioned only when absolutely unavoidable. And readers are kept safe from a notion they would rather forget: that these ideas really can be understood by almost anyone, but the price of admission i
Sean Carroll interview: The surprising upsides of living in a reality that repeats for eternity | New Scientist (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If Sean Carroll is right, this interview has happened before. Not just once, but infinitely many times. In an earlier cycle of the cosmos, we met in Dublin, asked and answered these same questions and discussed the unsettling possibility that the universe is destined to repeat itself exactly. Carroll, a quantum cosmologist and philosopher at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland, pursues one of physics’ deepest questions: how gravity and the familiar classical universe emerge from the
The once-impossible black holes that could break thermodynamics | New Scientist (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The following is an extract from our Lost in Space-Time newsletter. Each month, we dive into fascinating ideas from around the universe. You can sign up for Lost in Space-Time here. Physics is littered with the remains of theories that once seemed destined to explain everything. A theory can dominate for decades, even centuries, only to be wiped out when new experimental results arrive or a fitter idea comes around. Before long, they’re relegated to little more than fossils in the scientific rec
