Description:
A supercomputer simulation of a black hole, throwing huge computing power at the equations of General Relativity. From NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center.
Description:
Rainbow version of Particle Tracks.
We're all just quarks and electrons, really. Plus a few gluons, a few photons. This image is from CERN's early bubble chamber particle detector in 1960. Charged particles called pions are fired into the chamber, and col
Description:
A simpler (!) version of the Standard Model Lagrangian, the equation that sums up all particles and forces in the universe ... except gravity. And dark matter. And dark energy. From the blackboard of great CERN physicist John Ellis.
Description:
Radioactive decay, as seen from the particle's point of view. Feynman diagram of a neutron decaying to a proton, with one of the quarks emitting a W-boson, which decays to an electron and an anti-neutrino. Physics is wild, man.
Description:
Isn't physics beautiful? Swirling tracks made by subatomic particles in a cloud chamber detector.
(This is the white version for darker colours.)
