Is gravity a force? It’s complicated
From Big Think, Oct. 12, 2023
Which theory on gravity is the most accurate at describing reality? Don Lincoln suggests perhaps we have reached a moment of scientific Zen and that gravity just is.
This eclipse is one you don’t want to miss
From CNN, Oct. 12, 2023
Fermilab’s Don Lincoln describes the annular eclipse that will occur this Saturday, Oct. 14. Break out your eclipse protective eyewear because the thin ring of sunlight that will encircle the moon is very bright even though Illinois is not in the path of maximum coverage.

Powerhouse of global discovery driven science: particle & accelerator physics research at Liverpool
From the University of Liverpool, Oct. 3, 2023
The University of Liverpool is addressing the most fundamental research questions in physics – leading and influencing global discovery driven scientific efforts to advance our understanding and description of nature. Fermilab is included in this video about pioneering precision and neutrino physics experiments, including the Muon g-2 experiment and commentary by Professors Graziano Venanzoni, Muon g-2 co-spokesperson.
Particle physicists prove that antimatter doesn’t “fall up”
Sept. 27, 2023
From Big Think: Is it true, what goes up must come down? Don Lincoln explores the ALPHA collaboration’s use of CERN’s Antimatter Factory to test if antimatter might experience gravity in a manner opposite of ordinary matter. The conclusion: antimatter does not fall upward.
Antimatter falls down
Results from the ALPHA experiment confirm that matter and antimatter react to gravity in a similar way.
A massive detector in China will try to find a supernova before it happens
From Popular Science, September 26, 2023
From Popular Science: A new observatory under construction in China—the Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory, or JUNO—plans to hunt the elusive neutrino with better sensitivity than ever before. Expected to be operational in 2024, this detector will not only be bigger, but also more sensitive to slight variations in neutrinos’ energies than any of its predecessors.
Listening to the radio on the far side of the moon
LuSEE-Night will demonstrate whether an experiment to search for ancient radio signals can survive the moon’s unforgiving environment.
