Ancient galaxies from not long after the big bang contain an order of magnitude fewer stars than expected and they are strangely dim, according to observations from the James Webb Space Telescope
When physicists first discovered a form of a radioactivity called beta decay it seemed to violate the laws of physics. It took 50 years to work out what was going onThere are other ways to explain wave-particle duality than Albert Einstein's, but we don't teach them.
Excluding the conceptual challenges of quantum mechanics from the classroom limits our students, saysWe have been detecting gravitational waves since 2015, but there is still much more to learn.
