Space as a Sticky Fluid?

A late‑2025 arXiv preprint proposes that the vacuum behaves like a viscous, elastic medium with 'spatial phonons'—a phenomenological model that the author says can reconcile tensi… Jan 19, 2026

A 2,000‑Year‑Old Loom and the Origin of Computing

China’s science body has argued that a Western Han figured loom discovered in Chengdu could be read as a programmable, binary device — a claim that reframes what we mean by ‘first… Jan 02, 2026

How Feynman Rewrote Motion

Richard Feynman's path-integral idea shows that classical motion is an emergent pattern of quantum possibilities; a 2023 experiment made that emergence visible by measuring single… Jan 01, 2026
