Atomic clocks are so precise they can measure the gravitational time dilation difference within atoms one millimeter away from each other.

Just listened to this podcast with Ivette Fuentes where she is devising experiments to probe quantum gravity effects using atomic clocks and entanglement. Interesting stuff.

Did you know about the Attosecond laser project?

It won the Nobel prize for physics in 2023.

N.B. There are more attoseconds in a second, than there have been seconds in the life of the Universe (13.8Bn years).

Using the 4 attosecond laser, it is now possible to "photograph" the electron spinning around the nucleus.

Oh no.. not another rabbithole to fall down into...

You really have to like science for listening such a podcast.

Can you shill some science podcasts?

I like Theories of Everything, Quanta podcast, sean carroll. I need more tbh, I only have a small list I follow atm.

Tried Tokcast?

were you following the new pi formula discovery through string theory a few days ago ?

no but that sounds interesting, makes sense that pi would show up in closed loop of strings!

apparently they found a new connection between string theory and quantum field theory, under certain open superstring condition (beta = 1) and might lead to new ways of understanding the quantum theories because it goes back to the first particles (tho my understanding of string theory is mainly based on sheldon cooper and the big bang theory sitcom!)

Thanks for the suggestion 👍

Oof

Ok this is pretty cool!

Owning a watch that syncs with near by atomic clocks OTA is pretty awesome really. #watchstr
