Very excited about my latest paper (arxiv.org/abs/2407.15935) with two exceptionally talented PhD students from Tata Institute, Susobhan Chattopadhyay and Dibya S. Chattopadhyay. (1/n)

Velocity distribution of stars in a galaxy Left : expected assuming only visible matter using GR/Newtons law Right: observed Something makes stars far from the centre move much faster then expected 🤔

We’ve spent months putting together an immersive special issue of Quanta Magazine that explores the ultimate scientific quest: the search for the fundamental nature of reality. Don’t miss it! quantamagazine.org/the-unraveling…

There was a particle of dark matter That sought to prove it could scatter. Into a liquid it flew But went right through; If only the detector had been fatter. My popular article on efforts to detect dark matter underground. 👇

Mean and median cannot differ by more than 1 standard deviation :) In fact one has the more general result: |μ−m_p| ≤ σ * max(sqrt[p/1-p],sqrt[1-p/p]), where p refers to the p-th percentile. Setting p=1/2 gives the result for median and mean. Source: gwern.net/doc/statistics…

We are saddened to share the passing of Padma Shri Prof. Rohini Godbole. A renowned scientist, leader, mentor, and champion for women in science. A memorial service will be held today at 4 PM in the Physical Sciences Auditorium. zoom.us/j/94124015220?… ID: 94124015220 Pswd:075905

Episode 2 of the "Case for a new collider series" is out! Today, we explore the Higgs potential and how its form in our universe is still a deep mystery that might hide answers to some of the most pressing open questions in particle physics. Playlist: youtube.com/playlist?list=…

We’re extremely happy that the news is finally out! See here a visualization of the highest energy neutrino ever observed which triggered more than 35% of the active light sensors in our KM3NeT detector #KM3NeT_UHE #RecordNeutrino Full paper: nature.com/articles/s4158…

The message that “Particle physicists are lying scammers” has been heard by the usual clueless people. This accusatory bullshit is lazy and pathetic. It’s “climate scientists follow the money” crankery repackaged for contrarian audiences. Sadly, it’s in no way unexpected.

DESI's DR2 BAO results are out!! TL;DR... 1/n DESI Survey

CERN's experiments are global efforts. The 2025 Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics honors over 13,000 researchers whose labors have led to the precise description the Higgs mechanism, the discovery of dozens of new particles, analysis of rare processes and

Over more than 6 decades, Gerard 't Hooft's discoveries have been critical in the development of modern quantum field theory and the Standard Model of particle physics – not to mention his other contributions, from black holes to holography. This year, a Special Breakthrough
