| Hint | Answer | % Correct |
|---|---|---|
| Quantum effect which causes two particles to be linked regardless of distance. Observing one gives information about the state of the other particle. | Quantum entanglement | 73%
|
| Hypothesised fourth exchange particle for gravity (think: gluons, photons, W bosons) | Graviton | 66%
|
| 4 equations used to describe electromagnetism (eg ∇ • B = 0) are _______ equations. Named after a scientist. | Maxwell's equations | 66%
|
| These particles are released from the sun and pass through (almost) all matter. Extremely difficult to detect, theorised to have very little or zero mass. | Neutrino | 60%
|
| Scientist who discovered that the universe was expanding at an accelerating rate | Hubble | 52%
|
| Waves created and detected by black holes merging | Gravitational waves | 51%
|
| Diagrams used to show particle-particle interactions. Named after a scientist. | Feynman diagrams | 48%
|
| Effect in some materials when the system is cooled past a certain threshold, electrical resistance drops to zero | Superconductivity | 43%
|
| Material which were on the tips of control rods in the RBMK reactor in the Chernobyl power plant, which cause the core to go supercritical | Graphite | 40%
|
| Name for the interpretation of probabilities in quantum mechanics which is widely accepted. Named after a European city. | Copenhagen Interpretation | 34%
