For most of the past century, physics has been sold to the public as a kind of ultimate rulebook: solid, timeless, written into the fabric of reality itself. Gravity pulls, light moves at a fixed speed, and the constants of nature are, well, constant. But as our measurements get sharper and our telescopes see farther, ...
Picture this: you’re standing in the African savanna at midnight, surrounded by what seems like complete silence. The towering silhouettes of giraffes move gracefully through the darkness, their long necks swaying like gentle giants in a moonlit dance. But what you can’t hear might shock you.
