If energy is always conserved, then what “gains” the energy that photons lose as the Universe expands? “…in every kind of chemical change no loss of matter occurs […] in all […]
Cats’ craziness is leftover instinctual behavior from living in the wild.
Scientists at University of California, Irving stumble across the secret to long-lasting rechargeable batteries.
We could literally pave the road in renewable energy.
Nick Lane believes he can explain the “black hole” at the heart of biology. And in the process predict traits that even alien life will have. Here are some amazing facts from biology.
Why we’re positive the Universe isn’t all there is, and what the different possibilities for a Multiverse are. “Go, then. There are other worlds than these.” –Stephen King When you […]
Through his entertainment and the way he lived, Michael Jackson spread the message of peace of love, and taught the world many lessons applicable to our personal lives and careers.
Now that it’s seen gravitational waves, could physics beyond Einstein be its next target? This post is written by Sabine Hossenfelder, a theoretical physicist specialized in quantum gravity & high energy […]
With a new lobby, driverless cars could gain some legitimacy and legislation for the road. The question is whether they are good for the environment or not.
Jobs have doubled in the past five years.
We’ve heard some pretty wild excuses to avoid clean energy. This one takes the cake.
How the future of astronomy — and something we can’t even see — might open up the dark Universe. This post is written by Sabine Hossenfelder, a theoretical physicist specialized in quantum gravity & […]
Five of the Solomon Islands have vanished due to rising sea levels. The effects of climate change will be keeping cartographers busy as our borders continue to shift.
LIGO is celebrating apparent confirmation of Albert Einstein’s general theory of relativity, specifically that space and time are really one unit that exist as part of a gravitational grid.
There is a lot of hypocrisy in the way Naomi Oreskes attacks four renowned climate scientists.
Researchers are working on a pill to mitigate the effects of alcohol. Is it a price worth paying?
Could the secret to understanding gravity be held in reducing, not increasing, the number of dimensions? This article is written by Sabine Hossenfelder. Sabine is a theoretical physicist specialized in […]
When they ask, will you tell them the truth, or something comforting? Why not do both! “It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose. That is not a weakness, […]
That our atoms come from stars? You’ve got to think bigger than that! “The older people that one admires seem to be fearless. They go right out into the world. It’s […]
The UK’s National Obesity Forum has released a scathing report linking public health officials and corporate interests.
Just two days before its data was released, I wrote this story on what it all means. Come get the scoop! “Einstein’s gravitational theory, which is said to be the greatest […]
The Universe may be truly infinite, but our understanding of it never will be. Here’s why. “To know that we know what we know, and to know that we do not […]
If everything is relative, as Einstein says, then how do cosmologists measure these quantities in ways everyone can agree? “A human being is part of a whole, called by us the […]
We know the Standard Model isn’t all there is. So why haven’t we found a single particle outside of it? “I often feel a discomfort, a kind of embarrassment, when I […]
The LUX experiment just set the tightest bounds ever on dark matter, and may lead us down a different path entirely. “For me the best answer is not in words […]
Astrophysicists have been looking for worlds like Proxima b since the 19th century. At last, they’re found! This article is contributed by Sabine Hossenfelder. Sabine is a theoretical physicist specialized in […]
Now that LIGO’s found two pairs of merging black holes, what does the future hold? “We shall not cease from exploration, and the end of all our exploring will be to […]
The U.K. plans to phase out coal power by 2025, but how will renewable energy factor into the equation?
