Breaking Physics

The boundaries of Physics are being broken again, but recently in profound ways.
I mentioned the recent discovery that stars produce not just heavier elements but organic matter.

We also now know that over 85% of stars are binary. And they’ve begun to see planets around distant stars.

Other key recent discoveries:
1 – In Europe they discovered that Neutrinos move faster than the speed of light. This is key because the speed of light has long been considered a fixed constant and a fundamental law.

2 – It’s been discovered that Mesons decay differently than anti-mesons. This would explain why we have more matter than anti-matter. But it also breaks the standard model of particle physics.

3 – Everything points to there being multiple universes. A lot of them. Not only is the universe turning out to be bigger and fuller than we ever thought, there’s more of them.
