Recent outbreaks involve less familiar strains of viruses such as Ebola and hantavirus, with different transmission patterns or genetic variations that complicate response efforts. Scientists call for expanded surveillance and genomic tools to track these evolving threats.
The article discusses how, 340 years after Newton formulated the law of universal gravitation, physicists still lack a fundamental understanding of why gravity exists or how it fits with quantum mechanics. Known as the "problem of quantum gravity," this unresolved mystery remains one of the biggest embarrassments in modern physics.
