The Big Theoretical Physics Problem At The Center Of The ‘Muon g-2’ Puzzle In early April, 2021, the experimental physics community announced an enormous victory: they had measured the muon’s magnetic […]
Although most of the Universe’s mass is dark matter, which gravitates just as well as normal matter, it still can’t make black holes.
Only 17 years after its discovery have we learned we’re safe from asteroid Apophis. Ever since its 2004 discovery, asteroid 99942 Apophis has threatened planet Earth. Asteroid Apophis has been measured […]
Even without the greatest individual scientist of all, every one of his great scientific advances would still have occurred. Eventually.
A large-scale study from King’s College London explores the link between genetics and sun-seeking behaviors.
The Metaverse could be the most dangerous tool of persuasion humanity has ever created.
What happens when simulation theory becomes more than a fascinating thought experiment?
Imagine Heraclitus spending an afternoon down by the river…
Price gouging is prohibited in 34 US states and Washington D.C. But two scholars ask whether that’s the way it should be.
Snakes and mammals share common genetic building blocks necessary for producing venom.
And, at some point, did the Milky Way lose ours? There are some 400 billion objects flying through the Milky Way galaxy with enough mass that — if they were all made of […]
It occurred naturally, and scientists know this for certain. Starting in late 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, began infecting human beings for the very first time. Discovered in samples […]
We still don’t know what dark matter is, but at least we now know what it’s not. When it comes to science, we often say that it only takes a single […]
Surprising as it may seem, we are all very good at denial. Negation, however, is a different phenomena.
If you think you know how an astronomical nova works, buckle up. You’re in for a ride like you never expected.
The study identified superhabitable planets outside of our solar system.
And the Macho King, Randy Savage! Over this coming week, things will be quiet here at Starts With A Bang, as I’ll be taking the next week off. But to help […]
Jains believe that karma weighs the soul down. This can be overcome through extreme asceticism, in which one slowly withdraws from life.
If dark matter exists in a large halo in our galaxy, made up of particles, then it’s passing through us constantly. But how much?
Political partisanship might be a treatable condition.
Researchers speculate the famous monument was one of the world’s first solar calendars, possibly inspired by trade with ancient Egyptians.
When three wise men gifted baby Jesus with gold, frankincense, and myrrh, they had no idea one was made from colliding neutron stars.
Is there actually anything deserving of the term AI?
We’ve found our first ones! The question is: how did they survive? Over the past 2 years, an exciting development has finally arisen: scientists have measured a large number of small, […]
While the concept stretches back centuries, it has garnered significant attention in recent decades.
Let noted cognitive psychologist and linguist Steven Pinker introduce you to psychology.
That’s as fast as a bullet train in Japan.
Quantum physics isn’t quite magic, but it requires an entirely novel set of rules to make sense of the quantum universe.
There’s still hope for implicit bias training, research shows.
