“How can we live without our lives? How will we know it’s us without our past?” Steinbeck writes.
Even 13.8 billion years after the Big Bang, we can reconstruct the first 3 minutes. About 100 years ago, we began to truly understand the nature of the Universe for the […]
Here’s your gateway to enjoying the best of literature.
The smallest and faintest stars of all, even the failed stars that didn’t make it, are hiding some fascinating secrets. You might have thought that if we were going to […]
Measuring a person’s movements and poses, smart clothes could be used for athletic training, rehabilitation, or health-monitoring.
Planets can create nuclear power on their own, naturally, without any intelligence or technology. Earth already did: 1.7 billion years ago.
“I was part of the surgical team that conducted the first pig-to-human heart transplant in a living patient.”
In terms of the planets we’ve discovered, super-Earths are by far the most common. What does that mean for the Universe?
Two very different ideas, wormholes and quantum entanglement, might be fundamentally related. What would “ER = EPR” mean for our Universe?
If we succeed in contacting them, will that seal humanity’s doom? One of the most wondrous questions of all concerns our place in the Universe. After 13.8 billion years of […]
And, if we have one, how close are we to it? No matter which direction we look in, or how far away our telescopes and instruments are capable of seeing, the […]
The odds are slim, but the consequences would be literally world-ending. There really is a chance of a black hole devouring the Earth.
Many contrarians dispute that cosmic inflation occurred. The evidence says otherwise.
The nearby, bright star Fomalhaut had the first optically imaged planetary candidate. Using JWST’s eyes, astronomers found so much more.
For nearly a century, physicists have argued over how to interpret quantum physics. But reality exists independent of any interpretation.
One hypothesis says that sleep helps “clean” the brain of damaged molecules and toxic proteins.
If it weren’t for a subatomic quantum rule, our Universe would be vastly different. In many ways, our views of the distant Universe are the closest things we’ll ever get […]
Forget little green men: These scientists say we should be more worried about little green germs.
But the upcoming James Webb Space Telescope compels us to add, “so far.” Beginning with its 1990 launch, NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope revolutionized our conception of the Universe. This photo of […]
For many years, cosmologists have claimed the Universe is 13.8 billion years old. A new paper says no, it’s 26.7 billion. How do we decide?
Digitized logbooks from the 1800s reveal a steep decline in strike rate for whalers.
In work and life, the rules of success are being redefined.
Standard probiotics cannot compare to the diversity that your microbes have.
People may be more willing to get vaccinated when told how popular it is.
Short-termism is both rooted in our most primal instincts and encouraged by runaway technological development. How can we fight it?
Think of a combination of immersive virtual reality, an online role-playing game, and the internet.
If the electromagnetic and weak forces unify to make the electroweak force, maybe, at higher energies, something even grander happens?
Finding out how the Universe grew up was the biggest science goal of JWST. This ultra-early proto-galaxy cluster is one amazing discovery.
“It’s a big resource in the way the human genome is a big resource, in that you can go in and do discovery-based research.”
