Gods and angels have been replaced with hi-tech extraterrestrials.
Even a small merger can trigger so much more than we realize. Practically every galaxy in the Universe has a supermassive black hole at their core. Ranging from millions to many […]
The laws of physics obey certain symmetries and defy others. It’s theoretically tempting to add new ones, but reality doesn’t agree.
Magnetic monopoles began as a mere theoretical curiosity. They might hold the key to understanding so much more.
Many people lived long enough to grow old in the olden days, too.
An enormous amount of antimatter is coming from our galactic center. But the culprit probably isn’t dark matter, but merely neutron stars.
The psychology of alien contact largely revolves around the concept of “otherness.” We need to learn to be comfortable around strange things.
Every Christmas could be the last Christmas.
In all mammals, there are two brain pathways for processing information from the eyes: an evolutionarily ancient one and a more modern one.
Mary Toft staged an elaborate hoax, but the pain was real.
Impossible standards and poor self-understanding are making us miserable.
This article was originally published on our sister site, Freethink. Fifteen volunteers in France just spent more than a month living in a cave — without any way to tell time — […]
Shoving platelet-rich plasma up your nose might restore your sense of smell after COVID. But whether it actually works still needs to be sniffed out.
Make Sunsets is bringing solar geoengineering from sci-fi to reality.
The laws of physics aren’t changing. But the Earth’s conditions are different than what they used to be, and so are hurricanes as a result.
Planets can be Earth-like or Neptune-like, but only rarely are in between. This hot, Saturn-like planet hints at a solution to this puzzle.
The “little red dots” were touted as being too massive, too early, for cosmology to explain. With new knowledge, everything adds up.
Finding it at all was a happy accident. Examining it further may help unlock the secrets hiding within the earliest galaxies of all.
Long before tobacco arrived from the Americas, ancient civilizations in the Old World were getting high off hemp smoke and opium.
It could evolve, strengthen, decay, or not be alone. Our known Universe contains matter, radiation, and dark energy. While matter (both normal and dark) and radiation become less dense as […]
Spiritual experiences can be explained in terms of a highly evolved brain. But they also can be extremely meaningful.
For centuries, Newton’s inverse square law of gravity worked beautifully, but no one knew why. Here’s how Einstein finally explained it.
We don’t understand why loneliness is bad for us if all we can say is that it hurts.
Straddling the bounds of science and religion, Newton wondered who set the planets in motion. Astrophysics reveals the answer.
Going door-to-door on All Hallows Eve to beg for ‘soul cakes’?
The artifacts were often made from found objects – an Ivory dish-soap bottle transformed into an earthenware figure.
Scientists created the mineral lonsdaleite in a lab and tested its strength using sound waves — before it was obliterated.
From inside our Solar System, zodiacal light prevents us from seeing true darkness. From billions of miles away, New Horizons finally can.
On New Year’s Eve 1899, the captain of this Pacific steamliner sailed into history. Or did he?
