The Physics of Covid-19–If You Squeeze the Coronavirus, Does It Shatter?, asks Katherine Wu for The New York Times. –Scientists are exploring the physics of viruses, to understand how these pathogens assemble themselves and might be rent apart.
The Pandemic Is Finally Softening. Will That Last? asks Robinson Meyer for The Atlantic –The pandemic is softening, but the reprieve may not last. “In other words, the numbers are finally moving in the right direction. But while the trajectory of the pandemic is encouraging, the overall level of infection is staggering”
Physicists Study How Universes Might Bubble Up and Collide, reports Charlie Wood for Quanta. –Since they can’t prod actual universes as they inflate and bump into each other in the hypothetical multiverse, physicists are studying digital and physical analogs of the process. f our universe is a bubble that inflated inside a larger multiverse, it might bear scars from collisions with nearby bubbles. “What lies
