The laws of physics aren’t changing. But the Earth’s conditions are different than what they used to be, and so are hurricanes as a result.
There’s no escaping the death of loved ones. But that doesn’t mean we’re powerless in the wake of loss.
Taught in every introductory physics class for centuries, the parabola is only an imperfect approximation for the true path of a projectile.
One god stands for order, logic, and reason. The other stands for chaos, madness, and drunkenness. Nietzsche thinks you need both.
The “little red dots” were touted as being too massive, too early, for cosmology to explain. With new knowledge, everything adds up.
Scientists have found three new examples of a very exotic form of matter made of quarks. They can yield insights into the early Universe.
If you want to understand what the Universe is, how it began, evolved, and will eventually end, astrophysics is the only way to go.
With radio and X-ray data combined, we’re understanding how energy flows like never before. When we look out at the Universe on the largest cosmic scales of all, gravity is the […]
The original principle of relativity, proposed by Galileo way back in the early 1600s, remains true in its unchanged form even today.
For some reason, the charges on the electron and proton are equal and opposite, and their numbers are equal, too. But why?
After years of analysis, the Event Horizon Telescope team has finally revealed what the Milky Way’s central black hole looks like.
Immune booster or pure torture?
Sometimes, new combinations of preexisting things revolutionize life.
A thought experiment from 1867 leads scientists to design a groundbreaking information engine.
Complex organisms and living worlds couldn’t exist without these transitions. You couldn’t make the Universe we have today if everything were always the same. Although many philosophically favored the idea […]
The Bullet Cluster has, for nearly 20 years, been hailed as an empirical “proof” of dark matter. Can their detractors explain it away?
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) will study many dangerous cosmic phenomena, knowledge of which may help save humanity.
Almost 10% of all new jobs created between 2020 and 2030 will unfortunately be some of the lowest paid.
Israel looks to deploy its “Iron Beam” air-defense system within the year.
Financial setbacks are more common than you might think.
Who needs steroids when you have the placebo effect?
This storm rained electrons, shifted energy from the sun’s rays to the magnetosphere, and went unnoticed for a long time.
Every timekeeping device works via a version of a pendulum — even the atomic clocks that are accurate to nanoseconds.
With economic turmoil looming, everyone wants a way to keep their funds safe. But is that really possible?
The jail environment teaches the animals that approaching humans results in a boring and annoying experience.
Some processes, like quantum tunneling, have been shown to occur instantaneously. But the ultimate cosmic speed limit remains unavoidable.
An artificial island in the North Sea is the biggest building project ever in Danish history – and could pave the way for many more.
Finding it at all was a happy accident. Examining it further may help unlock the secrets hiding within the earliest galaxies of all.
