Are breakthroughs really a matter of chance, or are they simply waiting to be uncovered by the right person at the right time?

Instead of worshipping Yahweh, the devotees were perhaps dedicated to Mars and Jupiter.

Recent research sheds light on how the brain overgeneralizes fear, causing people to be afraid of harmless situations.

When the hot Big Bang first occurred, the Universe reached a maximum temperature never recreated since. What was it like back then?

Is it ever possible for God to violate the laws of nature?

The Universe, although violent, is filled with creation events following destructive ones. 1850 light-years away, both types are unfolding.

This network physicist is mapping the world’s most significant data to create the most beautiful visualizations of information we have ever seen.

Since 1962, humanity has been sending messages into space with the intent to make contact with intelligent extraterrestrials. Are those efforts worth the risks?

Try writing a novel without using the letter “e.”

The Bullet Cluster has, for nearly 20 years, been hailed as an empirical “proof” of dark matter. Can their detractors explain it away?

Our own galaxy, the Milky Way, is both completely normal and absolutely remarkable in a number of ways. Here’s the story of our cosmic home.

How are we to deal with the quantization of spacetime and gravity?

The near and far sides of the Moon are so different from each other, and no one is sure why. New lunar samples could confirm a wild theory.

Bang bang all over the Universe.

London’s busiest airport seems to be rebounding well from the pandemic — but Istanbul has better prospects in the long run.

The expanding Universe, in many ways, is the ultimate out-of-equilibrium system. After enough time passes, will we eventually get there?

The Universe begins with negligible amounts of angular momentum, which is always conserved. So why do planets, stars, and galaxies all spin?

The multifaceted nature of company culture is what makes it so challenging — this guide will help you make sense of the complexity.

The first elements in the Universe formed just minutes after the Big Bang, but it took hundreds of thousands of years before atoms formed.

At a fundamental level, only a few particles and forces govern all of reality. How do their combinations create human consciousness?

The Earth that exists today wasn’t formed simultaneously with the Sun and the other planets. In some ways, we’re quite a latecomer.

JWST has brought us more distant views of the early Universe than ever before. Is the Big Bang, and all of modern cosmology, in trouble?

There may be a symmetrical interdependence between order and chaos.

From when its light was emitted, the El Gordo galaxy cluster might be the most massive object in all of existence. Here’s how JWST sees it.

“All the plausible paths to a really great future, involve the development of machine superintelligence at some point.”

Einstein’s relativity overthrew the notion of absolute space and time, replacing them with a spacetime fabric. But is spacetime truly real?

By probing the Universe on atomic scales and smaller, we can reveal the entirety of the Standard Model, and with it, the quantum Universe.

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

Finding it at all was a happy accident. Examining it further may help unlock the secrets hiding within the earliest galaxies of all.
