gamma rays—until relatively recently in human history. "If it's true that our insistence of symmetry in the laws of nature is largely a selection effect because of how our brain works ...

And that may explain the weird symmetry in pulses of some of the most energetic light in the universe, called gamma-ray bursts. These cryptic bursts — bright flashes of gamma-ray light that come ...

From lightning to the death of electrons, the highest-energy form of light is everywhere. Gamma rays are the most energetic type of light, packing a punch strong enough to pierce through metal or ...

The latest sky maps produced by Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope combine seven years of observations. Maps from the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope literally show the universe in a different light.

Photons streaming from gamma-ray bursts have thus far shown no changes in the rotation of their polarity. Such a rotation would indicate a lack of symmetry if time were reversed and particles and ...
