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.

If the Universe is expanding, and the expansion is accelerating, what does that tell us about the cause of the expanding Universe?

The multiverse pushes beyond the limits of the scientific method. From our vantage point in the Universe, we cannot know if it’s real.

Today, the deepest depths of intergalactic space aren’t at absolute zero, but at a chill 2.73 K. How does that temperature change over time?

Almost 100 years ago, an asymmetric pathology led Dirac to postulate the positron. A similar pathology could lead us to supersymmetry.

Carrie Berk reveals how she transformed her struggle with anxiety and internet fame by changing her perception and finding her true voice as a writer.

Most waves need a medium to travel through. But the way that light and gravitational waves travel shows that space can’t be a medium at all.

Without wormholes, warp drive, or some type of new matter, energy, or physics, everyone is limited by the speed of light. Or are they?

Explanations for the cosmic speed limit often conflate mass with inertia.

Twin Health lets patients with diabetes see what’s happening inside their own body and can model each patient’s unique metabolism.

Since 1998, we’ve known our Universe isn’t just expanding, but the expansion is accelerating. Could the Big Bang itself be the reason why?

If it weren’t for the intricate rules of quantum physics, we wouldn’t have formed neutral atoms “only” ~380,000 years after the Big Bang.

Welcome to The Nightcrawler — a weekly newsletter from Eric Markowitz covering tech, innovation, and long-term thinking.

Almost everyone asserts that the Big Bang was the beginning of everything, followed by inflation. Has everyone gotten the order wrong?

It may be time for a cosmological paradigm shift.

From forming bound states to normal scattering, many possibilities abound for matter-antimatter interactions. So why do they annihilate?

The Multiverse fuels some of the 21st century’s best fiction stories. But its supporting pillars are on extremely stable scientific footing.

Emotion dysregulation has been linked to unhealthy risk-taking, relationship challenges, and negative physical health outcomes.

The Universe didn’t begin with a bang, but with an inflationary “whoosh” that came before. Here are the biggest questions that still remain.

Named “Phoenix,” this AI-powered humanoid could be your next coworker.

For many years, some cosmologists embraced the idea of an eternal, steady state universe. But science triumphed over philosophical prejudice.

The observation that everything we know is made out of matter and not antimatter is one of nature’s greatest puzzles. Will we ever solve it?

For centuries, Newton’s inverse square law of gravity worked beautifully, but no one knew why. Here’s how Einstein finally explained it.

Leaders ideally intertwine their own success with that of their teams — if that’s not the case at your workplace, here’s what to do.

Traveling back in time is a staple of science fiction movies. But according to Einstein, it’s a physical possibility that’s truly allowed.

The Kalam cosmological argument asserts that everything that exists must have a cause, and the “first” cause must be God. Is that valid?

Nothing lives forever, at least, not in the physical Universe. But relativity allows us to get closer than ever, from one perspective.

For every proton, there were over a billion others that annihilated away with an antimatter counterpart. So where did all that energy go?

Philosophy can focus on some dull topics. Luckily, some thinkers have spent lots of time on the philosophy of sex

How scientists found out that we live in a cosmic aquarium.
