One of the most exciting dinosaur finds to date comes from Scotland. In the Isle of Skye, Paul Booth and Dugald Ross, found a set of fossilised footprints. Inside one of the footprints was another tiny fossil footprint that has turned out to be one of the most exciting finds in Scotland. Dinosaur tra...
Spontaneous Inflation and the Origin of the Arrow of Time
Microscopic laws of physics are essentially time-reversal invariant, but macroscopic thermodynamics exhibits a profound time-asymmetry; entropy typically increases in closed systems. This intriguing feature of the real w...
