Did Kelvin's Knot Theory Explain Why Matter Exists?
It was 1867. In the halls of Victorian science, where the nature of the atom remained one of the deepest mysteries, Lord Kelvin, the brilliant physicist William Thomson, observed a simple demonstration. His friend, Peter Guthrie Tait, produced stable, swirling smoke rings using a rudimentary vortex box. Kelvin, struck by their persistence and intricate forms, […] The post Did Kelvin’s Knot Theory Explain Why Matter Exists? appeared first on Abov…
The origin of everything could be in a more than 150-year-old idea: that the world is made up of knots. Researchers now show that exactly such "nodes" could have existed in the circles of the new world - and perhaps explain why there is matter at all. (Read more)
Rapidly abandoned in the 19th century, a theory of matter resurfaces today among physicists. It suggests that atoms do not behave in the same way shortly after the Big Bang, which would explain the organization of matter in the Universe. From 1867, an English physicist of the name
