The New York Times claimed that aliens must have existed at some point. But science is less certain. “There are two possible outcomes: if the result confirms the hypothesis, then you’ve […]

When it comes to leaders of organizations, they not only need to have some blend of intelligences themselves, but it’s very, very important for them to realize that not everybody who they work with is going to think the same way.

Given the age in which we live, it’s easy to equate intelligence with access to information. And, of course, information is a significant part of knowledge and intelligence. But it […]

Most amusement parks like Disney and Six Flags pride themselves on being family friendly attractions. These parks do not.

Learning how to code will get you a job and a salary. More importantly, it allows you the freedom of understanding that you can solve problems that seem overwhelming.

There is a modern backlash against the pursuit of knowledge, and here is why that is absurd.

Climate Feedback has been busy correcting reporting on climate change inaccuracies within the mainstream media. Now the site is looking to expand its efforts as a watchdog for scientific reporting by asking for funding through IndieGoGo.

More than a million times what we make at the LHC, these could be the ultimate keys to nature. “Energy is liberated matter, matter is energy waiting to happen.” –Bill Bryson […]

It’s getting bigger over time, but is there anything it’s displacing, or expanding into? “Mathematicians deal with possible worlds, with an infinite number of logically consistent systems. Observers explore the […]

As Twitter celebrates its tenth anniversary, we look back at how it’s changed the world for the better. HINT: All of that world-changing goodness comes straight from its users.

The four fundamental forces have ruled our Universe for over 50 years, now. Are we on the brink of discovering a new one? “The new claim now is [a] boson with […]

Stephen Hawking says so.

Not every butcher’s map has a Tenderloin District

Our behaviors are measured, assessed, and evaluated in increments, all the little things we do. The future isn’t solely about big data; it’s about little data and its risky union with big data.

This is what anonymous browsing looks like.

Yet another analysis of the dangers of mercury feeds fears that aren’t supported by solid evidence. Fanning false fears hurts people.

Researchers have discovered that the apps you have installed on your phone can predict your age, income, gender, and marital status. 

Bessel van der Kolk has spent a lifetime recognizing the damaging effects of trauma…and healing them. 

Gamma rays from black holes? It’s an incredible idea… and it’s probably wrong. “That’s the next step: to simultaneously see [gravitational waves] with three, four or five interferometers, localize it quickly, […]

Or is this an example of the media hype surrounding Hawking going nuts? “Thus it seems Einstein was doubly wrong when he said, God does not play dice. Not only […]

Google has been testing a new kind of Internet-delivery system out in New Mexico. Project Skybender would not only beam down Internet from the skies through solar-powered drones, but also provide speeds 40 times faster than 4G LTE.

And because of it, we can learn about quantum entanglement across a black hole’s event horizon. This article was contributed to Starts With A Bang by Sabine Hossenfelder, whose blog, Backreaction, […]

The NSA’s ability to get records from telecommunications companies just changed, and that’s a good thing.

The first of the next generation of telescopes is already under construction. Here’s the audacious new science we’re in for! “We find them smaller and fainter, in constantly increasing numbers, and […]

Out of those hundreds of friends on Facebook, you’d only count four of them as “true friends.”

An old fight between philosophy and science has flared up again. Fortunately we have Rebecca Newberger Goldstein to help us sort out what’s going. 

“Humans are allergic to change,” Grace Hopper once said. “They love to say, ‘We’ve always done it this way.’ I try to fight that. That’s why I have a clock on my wall that runs counter-clockwise.”

Rosalind Franklin is most known for her role in first capturing the blueprint for life. Her efforts provided the evidence to deduce the double helix structure of DNA.

The truth is a bitter pill to swallow, they say. Yet much of today’s information economy is built on the premise that knowing more is better.
