Most of us will never run a 4 minute mile. But on a bicycle, almost anyone can do it. As human beings, we often take for granted how our bodies work. […]
Do the benefits of plastics outweigh the costs?
It’s a wild idea, but there’s a way to test it. No matter how far we look out in the Universe, there’s always more “Universe” to see. Even at the extreme […]
The body uses its own electricity to repair wounds. Faster healing may be possible with additional electrical stimulation.
When you don’t know what you’re looking for, it’s easier to miss it.
The Kalam cosmological argument asserts that everything that exists has a cause, and what caused the Universe? It’s got to be God.
If the laws of physics are symmetrical as we think they are, then the Big Bang should have created matter and antimatter in the same amount.
If you truly want to understand modern astrophysics, knowing how to read this graph is essential.
How can we understand mysterious planets like Jupiter? Use giant lasers!
Haters and disrespect aside, fruitcake is still a robust American tradition.
The past ~4 billion years have been an incredibly successful, unbroken run for life on Earth. The future won’t be nearly so bright.
Physics demands that it couldn’t be any other way. Here’s why. Ask anyone — even someone with no background in science — to name something that Einstein did, and odds are they’ll come back with […]
The Universe gravitates so that normal matter and General Relativity alone can’t explain it. Here’s why dark matter beats modified gravity.
Many galaxies really are ultra-distant, but some are just intrinsically red or dusty. Only with spectroscopy can JWST tell which is which.
If it weren’t for a subatomic quantum rule, our Universe would be vastly different. In many ways, our views of the distant Universe are the closest things we’ll ever get […]
Godfrey Hounsfield’s early life did not suggest that he would accomplish much at all.
These animals to grow scalpel-sharp and precisely shaped tools that are resistant to breaking.
How slight differences could have forever changed our cosmic history. 13.8 billion years ago, what we know today as our Universe began with the hot Big Bang. Filled with matter, antimatter […]
For millennia, diamonds were the hardest known material, but they only rank at #7 on the current list. Can you guess which material is #1?
NASA is creating a planet habitability index, and Earth may not be at the top. With our current data, ranking habitability is guesswork.
Being mortal makes life so much sweeter.
Asteroid collisions aren’t always bad.
You can buy over 400,000 products tagged “witch” on Etsy, from candles to spell bottles to pentagram necklaces.
By improving quantum error correction, quantum computations are now faster than ever. But parallel universes? That’s utter nonsense here.
Scalars, vectors, and tensors come up all the time in physics. They’re more than mathematical structures. They help describe the Universe.
We’re used to scientists telling us about the math and physics behind astronomical events. But what does studying space make us feel?
There’s the textbook answer, then there’s the real answer.
From health to leadership abilities, a good sense of humor can help improve many aspects of life.
