It might seem like science and faith are at war, but the two have a historical synergy that extends back in time for centuries.
65 million years ago, a massive asteroid struck Earth. Not only did Jupiter not stop it, but it probably caused the impact itself.
A warming Arctic Circle could be responsible for bursts of cold weather in the south.
While Mars is known as a frozen, red planet today, it has all the evidence we could ask for of a watery past, lasting for approximately the first 1.5 billion […]
Forget these scientific myths to better understand your brain and yourself.
A reversal in Earth’s magnetic field 42,000 years ago triggered climate catastrophes and mass extinctions. Can the field flip again?
The last naked-eye Milky Way supernova happened way back in 1604. The next one could be the key to solving the dark matter mystery.
Pfizer’s vaccine needs to be kept at -100°F until it’s administered. Can caregivers deliver?
Researchers detect a large lake and several ponds deep under the ice of the Martian South Pole.
The sky is blue. The oceans are blue. While science can explain them both, the reasons for each are entirely different.
Whether or not life exists elsewhere in the Universe, we can be assured of one thing: We are the only human beings in the cosmos.
There has been a 600% increase in European gas prices so far in 2021.
The key is finding which lifestyle suits you best: hedonic, eudaimonic, or experiential.
It’s the early 20th century, and you are the captain of a ship. A barquentine specifically—three masts and a coal-burning steam engine in her belly. She’s a sturdy and capable […]
Particles are everywhere, including particles from space that stream through the human body. Here’s how they prove Einstein’s relativity.
Whenever the climate cooled, our hominin ancestors would set up shop in the Arabian Peninsula and vanish again when the planet warmed up.
The impact might have triggered the Ice Age.
There will always be “wolf-criers” whose claims wither under scrutiny. But aliens are certainly out there, if science dares to find them.
“Kids are always asking two questions of parents: ‘Am I safe?’ and ‘Am I real?'”
NASA is creating a planet habitability index, and Earth may not be at the top. With our current data, ranking habitability is guesswork.
A Carrington-magnitude event would kill millions, and cause trillions of dollars in damage. Sadly, it isn’t even the worst-case scenario.
A new paper explores how noise from human activities pollutes the oceans, and what we can do to fix it.
The far side of the Moon is incredibly different from the Earth-facing side. 63 years later, we know why the Moon’s faces are not alike.
The James Webb Space Telescope viewed Neptune, our Solar System’s final planet, for the first time. Here’s what we saw, and what it means.
The strangest thing about trying to predict the future is that our only clues lie in the past.
If Arctic ice continues to melt at its projected rate, the bears will go extinct due to starvation by the end of the century according to a first-ever projected timeline.
In 2020, we experienced the shortest ‘day’ in 50 years. Here’s the reason why. On the timescales that humans experience, there are lots of things that we consider to be extremely […]
The idea of “absolute time” was our default for millennia. But time is relative, as gravity and motion both cause time to dilate.
