The top quark isn’t a loner after all: “toponium” is real! The top quark is the most massive, shortest lived particle of all. But it isn't always a "bare quark" that just decays; the LHC just revealed that the bound state of "toponium" is real! bigthink.com/starts-with-... #physics #particle #top

Big ThinkThe top quark isn't a loner after all: "toponium" is real!Can the top quark, the short-lived particle of all, bind with anything else? Yes it can! New results at the LHC demonstrate toponium exists.

InstagramNerd Snacks by @science on Instagram: "Physicists just pulled off something mind-bending: they created a particle of light that exists in 37 dimensions at once, smashing through the boundaries of both classical physics and our everyday intuition. Using a fiber-based “light processor” and a quantum trick called the Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger (GHZ) paradox, the international team entangled photons across 37 different “contexts”—far beyond the usual three dimensions we live in. 💡 The experiment puts local realism—the comforting idea that things only happen because of immediate, local causes—on the ropes. Instead, quantum mechanics says particles can exist in many states at once, and only “decide” what they are when you measure them. In this quantum paradox, the usual rules break down, leading to results as strange as math saying 1 = -1. Scientists describe this as the strongest real-world evidence yet that the universe plays by bizarre, nonlocal rules. 🤯 Encoding light in 37 dimensions isn’t just a party trick: it could supercharge quantum computing and create ultra-secure communication networks, with far more information processed and protected at once than any classical system could manage. If this is just the tip of the iceberg, the quantum world could hold even wilder surprises, forcing us to rethink what’s possible both in technology and in the very nature of reality itself. 🚀 Click the link in bio for more great stories sent to your inbox!"11K likes, 297 comments - nerdsnacks.io on June 19, 2025: "Physicists just pulled off something mind-bending: they created a particle of light that exists in 37 dimensions at once, smashing through the boundaries of both classical physics and our everyday intuition.

❛❛ Brian Cox Debates If Aliens Have Visited Earth? ❜❜

In 10 mins, #particle #physicist Brian Cox takes us quite beyond the big-if in the title of the #video, touching on #world #politics and whether there could be any other #intelligent #life — any further #meaning — in the #MilkyWay #galaxy.

Could #Tachyons Exist? Breaking the #SpeedOfLight
