The vaccine just passed its first clinical trials, but it has a long way to go.
The first supernova ever discovered through its X-rays has an enormously powerful engine at its core. It’s unlike anything ever seen.
Duke University researchers might have solved a half-century old problem.
The very concept of a “problem with no solution” goes against human nature. But we must accept this harsh reality to have peace in our lives.
Waun Maun was an ancient Welsh stone circle that had an awful lot in common with Stonehenge.
How can physics on the smallest scales affect what the Universe does on its largest ones? Cosmic inflation holds the answer. On a macroscopic level, the Universe appears to be entirely […]
And could Earth-based life provide the seeds for biology elsewhere? Today, on Earth, there’s an enormous variety and diversity of life on our planet. Every single surviving lifeform appears, in […]
The first world that humans should inhabit beyond the Earth is the Moon, not Mars. Here’s why terraforming our lunar neighbor is so appealing.
Are atoms, humans, planets, and galaxies destined to expand, too? One of the most revolutionary discoveries of the past century was the fact that the Universe is not eternally static and […]
The heart of the religious ritual is mysticism, argues Brian Muraresku in “The Immortality Key.”
And do our black holes give birth to baby Universes? When it comes to our understanding of the Universe, the 20th century was full of surprises. A little over 100 […]
Here are 5 ways to make your workplace better and your workforce happier.
A variety of structures exist to both treat employees with more respect and increase productivity.
Science doesn’t exist in a cultural and existential vacuum and its teaching shouldn’t either.
Often viewed as a theoretical, calculational tool only, the Lamb Shift proved their existence. If you spend enough time listening to theoretical physicists, it starts to sound like there are […]
We still don’t know how it came to be this way. Every once in a while, we find an object in the Universe that completely mystifies us. For generations, astronomers have […]
Fractal patterns are noticed by people of all ages, even small children, and have significant calming effects.
The Big Theoretical Physics Problem At The Center Of The ‘Muon g-2’ Puzzle In early April, 2021, the experimental physics community announced an enormous victory: they had measured the muon’s magnetic […]
More than 70% of college students procrastinate
Carbon dating allows us to know exactly when ice was melted for drinking water in pre-Columbian America.
If galaxies are cities in the Universe, how unfortunate that our ‘cosmic country’ is dissolving. On the largest cosmic scales of all, planet Earth appears to be anything but special. […]
Roger Penrose used mathematics to show black holes actually exist. Andrea Ghez and Reinhard Genzel helped uncover what lies at the center of our galaxy.
Dark matter must gravitate, so why couldn’t the graviton solve it? One of the most puzzling observations about the Universe is that there isn’t enough matter — at least, matter that we know […]
Despite the enormous flood of recent reports, there’s no good evidence for a lab leak. At the very end of 2019, a new disease began to emerge in humans: COVID-19. Originally […]
MRI scans show that hunger and loneliness cause cravings in the same area, which suggests socialization is a need.
Infrared, visible, and ultraviolet combine to show us Jupiter’s features as never before. The largest planet in our Solar System, Jupiter, is our own ‘failed star.’ The best evidence-based classification scheme […]
This course collection can get you trained and ready for a six-figure career in this field.
Astronomers propose a new location for the mysterious force that accelerates the universe.
How long should one wait until an idea like string theory, seductive as it may be, is deemed unrealistic?
