Chanda Prescod-Weinstein’s new book is a mind-expanding trip to space-time

The Edge of Space-Time, the September read for the New 女生小视频 Book Club, is a dreamer鈥檚 book, full of curiosity, love, fun, art 鈥� and gloriously hard theoretical physics, says Karmela Padavic-Callaghan

Fractal conceptual illustration of supersymmetry or superstrings. Supersymmetry (SUSY) is a particle physics theory that proposes a type of spacetime symmetry relating two basic classes of elementary particles: bosons, which have an integer-valued 'spin', and fermions, which have a half-integer spin. If supersymmetry is a true symmetry of nature, it would explain many mysterious features of particle physics and would help solve paradoxes such as the cosmological constant problem. There is only indirect evidence for the existence of supersymmetry, primarily in the form of evidence for gauge coupling unification. Direct confirmation would entail production of superpartners at collider experiments, such as at the Large Hadron Collider.

2H2KWEA Big Bang to Present. Stages in the history of the Universe after the Big Bang. At 300, 000 years, matter and radiation decouple, and the Universe becomes transparent for the first time. The first galaxies form at around 300 million years after the Big Bang, but the exact time period is uncertain. At an age of 9 billion years the Solar System formed. Finally, 13.7 billion years after the Big Bang we arrive at the present day. The Universe is still expanding and evolving.

Is gravity a new type of force that arises from cosmic entropy?

Decades ago, a renegade physicist suggested that gravity isn't so much a force as just a byproduct of the universe's tendency to get more disordered. Now this idea might finally be testable
