Another story considers whether the universe is impossible, in light of experimental results at the Large Hadron Collider. br\u0026gt;br\u0026gt;We learn about quantum reality and the mystery of quantum entanglement; explore the source of time's arrow; and witness a eureka moment when a quantum physicist exclaims- \"Finally, we can understand why a cup of coffee equilibrates in a room.\" br\u0026gt;br\u0026gt;We reflect on humans' enormous skulls and the Brain Boom; consider the evolutionary benefits of loneliness; peel back the layers of the newest artificial intelligence algorithms; follow the \"battle for the heart and soul of physics\"; and mourn the disappearance of the \"diphoton bump,\" revealed to be a statistical fluctuation rather than a revolutionary new particle. br\u0026gt;br\u0026gt;Winner of the 2022 Pulitzer Prize for Explanatory Reporting, i\u0026gt;Quanta\/i\u0026gt; is the only popular publication that offers in-depth coverage of today's challenging, speculative, cutting-edge science. It communicates science by taking it seriously, wrestling with difficult concepts and clearly explaining them in a way that speaks to our innate curiosity about our world and ourselves.
