If you bring too much mass or energy together in one location, you’ll inevitably create a black hole. So why didn’t the Big Bang become one?
Ultracold gases in the lab could help scientists better understand the universe.
Unless you confront your theory with what’s actually out there in the Universe, you’re playing in the sandbox, not engaging in science.
Many people lived long enough to grow old in the olden days, too.
Every Christmas could be the last Christmas.
Taught in every introductory physics class for centuries, the parabola is only an imperfect approximation for the true path of a projectile.
The structure of our Solar System has been known for centuries. When we finally started finding exoplanets, they surprised everyone.
On June 20, 2024, the summer solstice occurs at its earliest moment since 1796: when George Washington was President of the USA. Here’s why.
You can lead an overconfident chatbot to expert knowledge, but can it actually learn and assimilate new information?
According to neuropsychologist Julia DiGangi, no one can live a life free of emotional pain. We can only choose how those emotions empower us.
From unexplained tracks in a balloon-borne experiment to cosmic rays on Earth, the unstable muon was particle physics’ biggest surprise.
If nature were perfectly deterministic, atoms would almost instantly all collapse. Here’s how Heisenberg uncertainty saves the atom.
In the quest to measure how antimatter falls, the possibility that it fell “up” provided hope for warp drive. Here’s how it all fell apart.
“The movement is much bigger than Sam Bankman-Fried, or any one person, no matter how wealthy,” philosopher Peter Singer told Big Think.
The “Foundation” series, recently adapted into a show by Apple TV, was inspired by a fascinating, real-life academic discipline.
If our Universe were born a little differently, there wouldn’t have been any planets, stars, galaxies, or chemically interesting reactions.
The ten greatest ideas in science form the bedrock of modern biology, chemistry, and physics. Everyone should be familiar with them.
Protons and neutrons are held together by the strong force: with 3 colors and 3 anticolors. So why are there only 8 gluons, and not 9?
In our Universe, all stable atomic nuclei have protons in them; there’s no stable “neutronium” at all. But what’s the reason why?
Science doesn’t fit neatly into ideology.
This everyday electrical phenomenon had no widely accepted scientific explanation — perhaps, until now.
A group of prominent scientists shares how research has changed them.
Real-time online learning is where our dated education system is heading.
Reading code activates a general-purpose brain network, but not language-processing centers.
Leading a scientific revolution is easy: you just have to succeed where the current theory fails while equaling its successes. Good luck!
There are many theories of gravity out there, and many interpretations of wide binary star data. What have we really learned from it all?
Despite the Sun’s high core temperatures, particles can’t quite overcome their mutual electric repulsion. Good thing for quantum physics!
Yes, “the laws of physics break down” at singularities. But something really weird must have happened for black holes to not possess them.
There are many problems with relying on SAT and ACT scores for college admissions. But removing them entirely creates less opportunity.
