Physics - 2023’s Biggest Breakthroughs

In 2023, physicists found the gravitational wave background that’s made by supermassive black hole collisions, teleported quantum energy in the lab, and puzzled over JWST’s potentially cosmology-breaking discoveries. Read about more breakthroughs from 2023 at Quanta Magazine: 00:05 Low Frequency Gravitational Waves When galaxies collide, their supermassive central black holes merge — a smashup so violent that it shakes the very fabric of space-time itself. In June, multiple international collaborations announced that they had found the resulting gravitational waves which alter the apparent rhythm of pulsars. - Original story with links to research papers can be found here: 04:23 Quantum Energy Teleportation The quantum energy teleportation protocol was proposed in 2008 and largely ignored. Now two independe
