Since conventional explanations have failed to pony up dark matter, one physicist is looking towards the unconventional. In a series of two papers, physicist Stefano Profumo of the University of California, Santa Cruz has proposed two strange, but not impossible, origins for the mystery material responsible for the excess gravitational effects we see out there in the Universe. In the …

The world of Bousso’s new theorem still departs from our universe in notable ways. For mathematical convenience, he assumed that there’s an unlimited variety of particles—an unrealistic assumption that makes some physicists wonder whether this third layer matches reality (with its 17 or so known particles) any better than the second layer does. “We don’t have an infinite number of …

The ground may feel steady underfoot, but the planet is always in motion. While satellites and sensors have mapped the surface in fine detail, what lies beneath remains largely unknown. The crust, a shell only 35 kilometers thick, is the farthest any probe has reached. To explore the deep interior—where the mantle and core reside—scientists must depend on indirect tools …
