In special relativity, the statement that two events happened at the same time is meaningless.

We’ll never be able to extract any information about what’s inside a black hole’s event horizon. Here’s why a singularity is inevitable.
Recent measurements of CERN data seem to disagree with standard-model predictions about how the Higgs boson decays, though further analysis is needed to confirm the observations.
To Fred Hoyle, the Big Bang was nothing more than a creationist myth. 75 years later, it’s cemented as the beginning of our Universe.
If you have an old TV set with the “rabbit ear” antennae, and you set it to channel 03, that snowy static can reveal the Big Bang itself.
Even in the very early Universe, there were heavy, supermassive black holes at the centers of galaxies. How did they get so big so fast?
CERN’s NA64 experiment used a high-energy muon beam technique to advance the elusive search for dark matter, offering new hope for solving one of astronomy’s greatest mysteries.
Many planets will eventually be devoured by their parent star. For the first time, we caught a star in the act, eating its innermost planet!
Amplifying the energy within a laser, over and over, won’t get you an infinite amount of energy. There’s a fundamental limit due to physics.
Quantum superposition challenges our notions of what is real.
The very dust that blocks our view of the distant, luminous objects in the Universe is responsible for our entire existence.
An incredible composite image of Pandora’s Cluster, Abell 2744, simultaneously showcases both our impressive knowledge and vast ignorance.
In the 20th century, many options abounded as to our cosmic origins. Today, only the Big Bang survives, thanks to this critical evidence.
The Universe isn’t just expanding, the expansion is also accelerating. If that’s true, how will the Milky Way and Andromeda eventually merge?
Many galaxies really are ultra-distant, but some are just intrinsically red or dusty. Only with spectroscopy can JWST tell which is which.
Legally smoking joints in city centers will require alertness and a keen sense of orientation — two things stoners are not known for.
The sky is blue. The oceans are blue. While science can explain them both, the reasons for each are entirely different.
In 2022, Hubble owned the record for most distant galaxy. Today, that galaxy is down to the 9th most distant object. Thanks, JWST.
According to the legendary investor, the best method is a blueprint for “extreme success.”
These theoretical megastructures represent one way an advanced civilization might harvest energy from stars.
Particles are everywhere, including particles from space that stream through the human body. Here’s how they prove Einstein’s relativity.
You could send your potential paramour a perfume bottle, a cigar cutter, travel plans — or maybe some cocaine.
Lots of people have seen lots of bizarre events and phenomena that defy our conventional experience. But is there a scientific explanation?
Unexpected images of galaxies from the James Webb Space Telescope do not disprove the Big Bang. There are other likelier explanations.
Quantum entanglement may remain spooky, but it has a very practical side.
The “Ring Nebula,” known for almost 250 years, is so much more than a Ring. With JWST’s capabilities, we’re seeing more than ever before.
On July 12, 2022, NASA will release the first science images taken with the James Webb Space Telescope. Here’s what to hope for.
JWST just found its first transiting exoplanet, and it’s 99% the size of Earth. But with no atmosphere seen, perhaps air is truly rare.
Holograms preserve all of an object’s 3D information, but on a 2D surface. Could the holographic Universe idea lead us to higher dimensions?
