Are these two laws universal throughout nature?
Different methods of measuring the expansion rate give different values. This one linchpin is key. In science, different methods of measuring the same properties should yield the same results. The expanding […]
The ‘giant impact’ that led to Earth might not have been so giant, after all. A little over 4.5 billion years ago, our Solar System began to form. Somewhere in the […]
Digitally recording historical sites could serve as insurance in the case of disaster.
Despite acceptance by many insurance companies, a number of studies don’t confirm its effectiveness.
We can go to deeper and deeper levels, finding more fundamental quantities as we do. But is there a truly fundamental quantity? What is the Universe, at a fundamental level, […]
Recognizing the consequences of your actions requires consideration of the long game.
Try not to think about your hands. Now enjoy a few minutes of not being able to stop thinking about them.
What will it take to conquer our immemorial space dream?
When the Universe gives us clues, we ignore them at our own peril. When you approach the world scientifically, you seek to gain knowledge about how it works by asking it […]
The global financial system is under an increasing amount of pressure to get with the times and evolve to the needs of its customers. Crises like the 2008 housing bubble’s […]
The past 300,000 years occurs in the blink of a cosmic eye, but it’s meant everything to humanity. The history of humanity was anything but inevitable. Although the Universe created […]
That’s five more unicorns than the previous three years combined.
If A.I.s are as smart as mice or dogs, do they deserve the same rights?
The farther away they get, the smaller distant galaxies look. But only up to a point, and then they get magnified. Here’s how. Intuitively, we all know that when we see […]
There are a few different theories out there, but the parieto-frontal integration theory, or P-FIT, appears to give us the best model of the neuroscience of intelligence.
As one of the biggest manmade structures in the sky and at a cost of over $100b, it’s the place where the space age dream is still alive.
If dark matter doesn’t interact with normal matter or light, how can it be heated up? One of the great cosmic mysteries of our time is the presence and existence of […]
Helium and carbon are made copiously in the interiors of stars. But the in-between elements? They’re rarities everywhere. If you were to take every element in the periodic table and […]
What gives us color now may give rise to our cyborg future.
Galactic mergers should push gas and dust into the centers of galaxies. So why are these two so quiet? Scientists have studied the closest, largest, brightest galaxies to Earth for centuries. […]
A new study claims that dark energy is changing with time. Here’s what it would mean, if true. For the past generation, we’ve recognized that our Universe is a particularly dark […]
Renowned scientists and technologists who’ve passed away in 2018.
Machine learning, which actively protects you from all sorts of dangers, including fires, explosions, collapses, crashes, workplace accidents, restaurant E. coli, and crime.

We know exercise is necessary, but this research takes it to another level.
The Earth is warming, and humans aren’t doing nearly enough to combat it. Could partially blocking the sunlight be the solution? It’s 2020, and not only is the Earth warmer […]
Using a new process, a mini-brain develops retinal cells.
For more than 10 billion years, the star-formation rate across the Universe has been plummeting. Here’s the story. Take a look at a wide variety of galaxies in the Universe, and […]
