Physicists see the cosmos in a coffee cup
A professor and a graduate student say they have found a new "universal principle."
A professor and a graduate student have found a “universal principle” that they say unites the interplay of light and shade on the surface of your coffee, with the way gravity distorts distant galaxies’ light.
They think scientists will be able to use violations of this principle to map unseen clumps of mysterious “dark matter” in the universe.
Light rays naturally reflect off a curve like the inside surface of a coffee cup in a curving, ivy leaf pattern that comes to a point in the center and is brightest along its edge.
