The Hottest Field in Physics Is Ultracold
521676
Only 12 years old, the field of ultracold physics is already leading scientists to discoveries that seemed like science fiction just a decade ago. Think quantum supercomputers and modeling the big bang.

How do you get general relativity and quantum mechanics to live together? String theory is the darling for now, but other promising approaches are floating out there as well. By Mark Anderson.
422905
The prize in physics goes to two scientists for their research on the Big Bang. The Big Question: will they speak to each other at the ceremony?

This is a series of four articles each with a separate explanation of different phenomena. Each of the four articles is a piece of a mosaic and so every one is needed to understand the final explanation of the quantum astronomy experiment we will be proposing to do possibly using the Allen Array Telescope and the narrow-band radio-wave detectors being build by the SETI Institute and the University of California, Berkeley.
