For some reason, when we talk about the age of stars, galaxies, and the Universe, we use “years” to measure time. Can we do better?
“Isn’t it enough to see that a garden is beautiful without having to believe that there are fairies at the bottom of it too?”
The LHC has a long, productive life ahead of it. An upgraded version, called the “High Luminosity LHC,” will be available in 2028.
In our common experience, you can’t get something for nothing. In the quantum realm, something really can emerge from nothing.
Eric Olson — CEO and co-founder of Consensus — takes his cues from the university of legendary coaches.
Particles are everywhere, including particles from space that stream through the human body. Here’s how they prove Einstein’s relativity.
The strongest tests of curved space are only possible around the lowest-mass black holes of all. Their small event horizons are the key.
Startup success can often hinge on a key lesson derived from behavioral science … and Jerry Seinfeld’s “Night Guy vs. Morning Guy” routine.
Slimy biofilms made up of bacterial and eukaryotic life forms have taken over an abandoned, flooded uranium mine in Germany.
A long view of biological survival might point us to new possibilities for finding life elsewhere in the Universe.
The best evidence for dark matter is astrophysical and indirect. Do new lensing observations point to ultra-light, wave-like dark matter?
Wind energy is one of the cleanest, greenest sources of power. But could it have the sneaky side-effect of changing the weather?
Scientists still aren’t sure how they perform without those restorative Z’s.
There are 40 billion billion black holes in the universe. Here’s how our Solar System stacks up against ten of them.
There’s an extra source of massive “stuff” in our Universe beyond what gravitation and normal matter can explain. Could light be the answer?
Is it better to be the oldest sibling, the youngest, or in the middle?
Astronomers claim to have found structures so large, they shouldn’t exist. With such biased, incomplete observations, perhaps they don’t.
Welcome to The Nightcrawler — a weekly newsletter from Eric Markowitz covering tech, innovation, and long-term thinking.
It’s knowledgeable, confident, and behaves human-like in many ways. But it’s not magic that powers AI though; it’s just math and data.
Barthes is dead — long live the artist.
The rapid crash of Nokia was triggered when key information gatekeepers became bottlenecks. Here’s the key lesson.
By looking outside the current wave of hype, we can create a framework for weighing up the practical impact of AI on any business.
Today’s pseudoscience-ridden wellness industry owes a great debt to its forefathers.
The nature of “the mind” is always vast and clear no matter how swamped by information we feel — and leaders can learn to embrace this space.
By unlearning old leadership mindsets, cultures, and assumptions we can move from Industrial Age thinking to Intelligence Age thinking.
Cosmology is unlike other sciences. When our view of the Universe changes, so does our understanding of philosophy and science itself.
