You can be born with good genes and study hard and still not meet your potential. Your environment has a lot to do with how smart you are.
Cognitive psychologist Donald Hoffman hypothesizes we evolved to experience a collective delusion — not objective reality.
For billions of years, dark energy couldn’t have been detected. Now, it’s everywhere we look. When we look out at the ultra-distant Universe, billion of light-years away, we’re seeing it as […]
Eight-dimensional octonions may hold the clues to solve fundamental mysteries.
A tiny grain found within a meteorite in Antarctica sheds light on how the solar system itself came to be.
The ability to instantaneously jump from one location in space to another clearly violates the laws of physics. Or does it? There are a few rules in the Universe that seem […]
Cosmologists propose a groundbreaking model of the universe using string theory.
After a landslide victory, a popular comedian with no political experience becomes Ukraine’s next president. Are comedians really the best leaders?
Unlike much of the United States, the South has a culture of honor. While this makes Southerners more polite, it’s also something of a double-edged sword.
