perhaps the secret is to follow the second law of thermodynamics (maybe, the law does not promise you immortality, but it does guarantee health and longevity)

Immortality does not exist. How is the aging process related to physics (entropy)? My opinion: 1- The second law of thermodynamics (entropy) states: the changes in entropy is equal to the heat of system. 2- In 1877 Ludwig Boltzmann provided the current definition of entropy: S=klnW where W is...

The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, which awards the Nobel, said at the time the standard model of physics which underpins the scientific understanding of the universe “rests on the existence of a special kind of particle: the Higgs particle. This particle originates from an invisible...

Immortality Is Possible—We Just Have to Overcome One Stubborn Law of Physics Our bodies naturally experience more and more cellular chaos over time. What if we could stop it? BY SUSAN LAHEY PUBLISHED: APR 5, 2024 ----- “So why is the second law of thermodynamics the probable cause of aging? It...

Black holes and galaxies formations. ----- " . . . supermassive black holes with the mass of millions or billions of Suns are assumed to reside in the cores of most galaxies, and they play a key role in current models of how galaxies have formed over the past billions of years."...

If new quantum particles didn't help us understand the mysteries of quantum particles (such as their duality), then what is the reason for the LHC hypermania?

“Scientific vocabulary can be so weird. The Large Hadron Collider at CERN has just recorded an example of a subatomic particle called the anti-beauty quark. Could it be that ugly people now have something tangible to blame?” ― Michael Quinion

The Uncertain Future of Particle Physics Ten years in, the Large Hadron Collider has failed to deliver the exciting discoveries that scientists promised. Jan. 23, 2019 /By Sabine Hossenfelder/ The Large Hadron Collider is the world’s largest particle accelerator. It’s a 16-mile-long underground...

CERN Wants to Build a Bigger, Badder Particle Collider /By: John Perritano/ https://science.howstuffworks.com/cern-wants-to-build-bigger-badder-particle-collider.htm ----- Cern aims to build €22bn collider to unlock secrets of universe. The first accelerator based on the principle of multiple...

13 March 2024. Sleeping black hole is way more massive than it should be The James Webb Space Telescope has found an unusual galaxy in the early universe with a black hole almost half the mass of the galaxy itself, raising questions about how it formed /By Jonathan O’Callaghan/ ------ A black...

What Physicists Have Been Missing An exciting new theory reconciles gravity and quantum physics. I think it’s wrong. But I may be too. BY SABINE HOSSENFELDER February 2, 2024 ------- But today, the foundations of physics are a sleepy place. We’re still chewing on the same problems that we had a...

"Since the galaxies are too distant for their gravitational fields to be influencing each other . . . " This means that gravity (as previously thought) could not have created the Big Bang "singularity" (as the beginning of existence). ===
