If antimatter falls up instead of down, countless sci-fi dreams will become scientific reality. One of the most astonishing facts about science is how universally applicable the laws of nature […]
If dark matter doesn’t interact with normal matter or light, how can it be heated up? One of the great cosmic mysteries of our time is the presence and existence of […]
Thousands of churches are left behind every year in America.
Hubble holds the record, finding a galaxy when the Universe was just 3% it’s age. In just a few years, James Webb will shatter it. One of the great scientific lessons […]
We know that life is possible on an Earth-like world around a Sun-like star. But can it find a way on a Super-Earth? When it comes to the origin of […]
In his final years, Martin Luther King, Jr. become increasingly focused on the problem of poverty in America.
Climate change stands to take the one thing away from us that might make it easier to deal with, cheap beer.
Billions of years from now, dark energy will push the rest of the Universe out of reach forever. These galaxies will be the last to go. A look at the night […]
The only other large galaxy in the local group is larger in size and has more stars. But mass? Perhaps we’re the biggest, after all. The Milky Way is home to […]
In 2017, we saw gravitational waves a neutron star merger for the first and only time. And it keeps getting more interesting. On August 17, 2017, a cosmic signal arrived […]
As voting becomes digital, we should consider rewarding voters for taking part in the process.
We all know sleeping with your ex is a bad idea, or is it?
It’s not what you have, it’s what you do with it.
LIGO, here on Earth, has exquisitely-precise distances its lasers travel. With three spacecrafts in motion, how could LISA work? Since it began operating in 2015, advanced LIGO has ushered in an […]

It was so well-motivated and compelling. But the particles never appeared. Every so often, an idea comes along in theoretical physics that’s undeniably profound. When a single idea can solve […]
It’s not just a case of “what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.”
These cosmic behemoths were enormous from very early times. Here’s how they came to be. One of the biggest challenges for modern astrophysics is to describe how the Universe went from […]
The current record-holder is a doozy, and right at the limit of what Hubble can do. But there’s even more out there. The greatest advances in science often come when we […]
Dark energy is pushing distant galaxies apart from one another at an increasing rate. If the Big Rip hypothesis is true, things will only get worse from here. One of the […]
What could religion learn from cable television? A surprising amount, seeing as the younger generations are turning away from both in huge numbers.
