Trump may make America great again — just not in the way he had intended.
“To take this in, you need to ride inside the mathematical symbols.”
Although we still don’t know the question, we know that the answer to life, the Universe, and everything is 42. Here are 5 possibilities.
The very word “quantum” makes people’s imaginations run wild. But chances are you’ve fallen for at least one of these myths.
The theory is accurate within at least one part in a quadrillion.
Finding this missing piece of water’s path through the universe offers clues to how it came to be on Earth.
We’ve wasted our time and resources ideologically policing and punishing each other for far too long. Here’s a better route to prosperity.
Ground-based facilities enable the greatest scientific production in all of astronomy. The NSF needs to be ambitious, and it’s now or never.
From the tiniest subatomic scales to the grandest cosmic ones, solving any of these puzzles could unlock our understanding of the Universe.
We can’t go back to the Big Bang, nor ahead to the heat death of the Universe. Nevertheless, here are today’s natural temperature extremes.
13.8 billion years ago, the hot Big Bang gave rise to the Universe we know. Here’s why the reverse, a Big Crunch, isn’t how it will end.
In the wake of the pandemic, the crystal industry boomed, with customers hoping the stones might relieve a little anxiety.
The ultimate multi-messenger astronomy event would have gravitational waves, particles, and light arriving all at once. Did that just occur?
For over three decades, toxic proteins were believed to cause Alzheimer’s disease. However, recent studies suggest it might be metabolic reprogramming.
