There’s a New Theory About Where Dark Matter Is Hiding

But there may be opportunities to indirectly spot the signatures of those gravitons. One strategy Vafa and his collaborators are pursuing draws on large-scale cosmological surveys that chart the distribution of galaxies and matter. In those distributions, there might be “small differences in clustering behavior,” Obied said, that would signal the presence of dark gravitons. […]

Pi Is Hiding Everywhere

There’s your pi. In fact, you can measure the mass, period, and spring constant independently and use this to calculate pi just for fun. However, we can also use a mathematical function to represent this oscillation. Here is the simplest equation that gives the position of the mass as a function of time, where A […]

A Little-Known Inflammatory Disease Is Hiding in Plain Sight

Vexas would have been discovered a long time ago if it were a garden variety genetic disease, caused by an inherited genetic mutation. For instance, the single gene responsible for familial Mediterranean fever, also an inflammatory disease, was identified in 1997 by screening the DNA of families that carried the disease. But Vexas can’t run […]

The Fibonacci Numbers Hiding in Strange Spaces

McDuff and Schlenk had been trying to figure out when they could fit a symplectic ellipsoid—an elongated blob—inside a ball. This type of problem, known as an embedding problem, is pretty easy in Euclidean geometry, where shapes don’t bend at all. It’s also straightforward in other subfields of geometry, where shapes can bend as much […]

Garmin Venu 2 Plus discovered to be hiding away an ECG feature

It looks like Garmin could be working on bringing ECG support to its smartwatches and sports watches after an ECG mode was found on its Venu 2 Plus smartwatch. Hats off to DC Rainmaker who managed to try out the functionality, which was hidden in the diagnostics menus on the watch, which is designed for […]
