Lost in Space-Time newsletter: Will a twisted universe save cosmology?

A forgotten idea of Albert Einstein’s might be the saviour of cosmology, plus the great man’s (vain) quest to undermine quantum weirdness and the question of why the universe looks “just right” for our existence

Coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of chloroplasts from the yellow portion of a yellow/green variegated Coleus blumei plant. Chloroplasts are the sites of photosynthesis, the process that synthesises carbohydrates from carbon dioxide and water using sunlight. The structure of a variegated chloroplast is slightly different from that of a normal green chloroplast. The granal stacks, formed from parallel thylakoids (membranes, bright lines), that contain the chlorophyll pigments are less ordered in the variegated chloroplast. The pigments themselves are also slightly different. Magnification: x14,300 when printed at 10cm wide.

Why is it so difficult to find a viable quantum theory of gravity?

The way we calculate the properties of subatomic particles with quantum theory goes haywire when it comes to hypothetical particles of gravity, but there may be a clever workaround
