No one has seen an equinox this early since the 19th century. And you’d better get used to it. This year, on March 19, 2020, the equinox will occur. For a […]
A new study suggests that reframing goals can help smart people avoid choking under pressure.
But some say the settlement is a slap on the wrist.
It just might be a possibility.
Our Universe cannot be described by normal matter alone. Vera Rubin’s work led the way. Ask an astrophysicist what our Universe is made of, and you’ll likely receive a shocking surprise. […]
The surprising results come from a new GLAAD survey.
Stressed? Work out anyway.
Strangely, the sun showed no sunspots at the time the photo was taken.
When thinking about your shortcomings, it pays to be kind.
Hawking radiation should really be happening, but black holes are farther from decaying than ever before. Black holes are, in many ways, the most extreme objects that will ever exist in […]
The summer solstice is the longest day of the year, but doesn’t have the earliest sunrise or the latest sunset. Here’s why. The length of a day on planet Earth might […]
We’re too afraid to voice our complaints, and for good reason — it often doesn’t go well.
When we split something into its most fundamental, indivisible components, are we truly seeing something that’s point-like, or is there a finite minimum size? Imagine that you wanted to know what […]
A new study proposes that a ‘D-factor’ can measure just how evil people are.
We often discuss what the minimum wage does to the economy, but rarely do we discuss what it does to people.
What do the inventions of the future look like?
The dream of space travel has been usurped by superficiality.
The “green” proposal would bring a 21st-century update to the 850-year-old cathedral.
Few scientific ideas have been as polarizing as string theory. There are good reasons to both love it and hate it. String theory is perhaps the most controversial big idea in […]
Just because you can design an experiment to test for something doesn’t mean you should trust the results. Is there another Universe out there? The Universe we know and inhabit, the […]
The transition across a quantum barrier is known as quantum tunneling, and the amount of time it takes for such a transition to occur had never been measured before. For […]
Today, our observable Universe extends for 46 billion light-years in all directions. But early on, things were much smaller. There are few things we can conceive of that are as mind-bogglingly […]
A passenger on a California freeway shot a video of a Tesla driver dozing off at the wheel.

The flying rotorcraft drone is set to land on Saturn’s largest moon in 2034.
They experience reality differently than we do.
The origin story for our Universe got a major revision nearly 40 years ago. Time to catch up. 13.8 billion years ago, all the matter and energy contained within our Universe […]
If all forms of energy experience gravitation, then why does dark energy make the expansion accelerate instead of slow down? Of all the revolutionary discoveries that we’ve made about the Universe, […]
If quantum gravity is right, these gravitational ripples must be more than waves; they must be particles, too. Back in February of 2016, LIGO made an announcement that changed our […]
