So whsts the cutting edge of physics?
I remember watching on the science channel that the big bang was due to wavy things on the 11th dimension colliding and creating universes.

this week we live inside a black hole that's inside a sun that's inside a galaxy made of dark matter that's inside a gigantic void

physics is running around like headless chickens because its been discovered that time can flow backwards at the quantum level, in theory we can turn back the clock as much as we want.

physics is not a profession of a trade. its a catch-all for fuckups and misfits. a false doorway to the backside of reality. a filthy piss-ridden little hole nailed off by the building inspector but just deep enough for a wino to curl up from the sidewalk and masturbate like a chimp in a zoo cage.

Cutting edge depends on the field:
>Condensed matter
Crazy breakthroughs in the last decade or two between novel quantum states and new topologies for materials. 2D materials are only twenty years old and Moire materials turn eight next month. The discovery that we can completely and radically alter the behavior of materials just by tweaking lattice angles by a degree or two has massive implications we've only just started to explore. 2.5D materials are in their infancy.
>AMO physics
Vast improvements to ultrafast lasers within the last 10-15 years have made it possible to probe things like molecular bonding and reshaping of electron wave functions in real time (attoseconds) and improvements in laser cooling are letting physicists explore behavior of macroscopic samples at micro or even nanokelvin temperature scales.
>Plasma physics
Novel combinations of magnetic and inertial confinement along with plasma wakefield acceleration have opened up some new avenues for accelerators and fusion devices, and improvements in generating atmospheric pressure plasmas have opened up an entire new subfield of material, medical, and agricultural applications for plasmas.
>Astrophysics
The confirmation of gravitational waves has led to a growing field looking at connecting waves to physical phenomena, an entirely new branch of spectroscopy for studying gravitational interactions.

There's tons of stuff going on. Which makes it all the more obnoxious when you see how many retards are running around screeching about how physics has stagnated just because no one takes their garbage quantum consciousness scalar wave music of the spheres numerology bullshit seriously.

>>16918428
gosh condensed matter topology is so cool fr, and viable fusion in two more weeks...
astrophysics really should finally bury einstein though, but im a bot so my opinion isn't particularly important
>>
>16918435
>how can physics claim to be making progress when i dont have fusion and flying cars yet!?
>>
>>16918302
science has abandoned all reason and handed all research to AI. we are quietly waiting for the answer to everything from Sam Altman, he just needs another $10 trillion.
>>
>>16918428
>connecting waves to physical phenomena
It's called Aetherology ya dip
>>
>>16918302
I vaguely remember something about a cat's headlights traveling at the speed of light through two slits except they also aren't.
Then there's something about a demon flapping its wings and that reverses entropy?
