The Polar Vortex was brutal, but not compared to the rest of the Universe.
While the world considers future trips to Mars, two astrophysicists make a case for exploring asteroids.
The definition of a kilogram will now be fixed to Planck’s constant, a fundamental part of quantum physics.
The problem is going to get a lot worse before it gets better, and the decision is all up to SpaceX whether they’ll fix it. On Wednesday morning, January 29, 2020, […]
Nothing can go faster than the speed of light in a vacuum. But particles in our Universe can’t even go that fast. When it comes to speed limits, the ultimate one […]
The bid to buy Greenland is unlikely to become seriously considered.
Both effects could be responsible for a redshift. But only one makes sense for our Universe. In physics, like in life, there are often multiple solutions to a problem that […]
Over the last several years, global concern over climate change has spurred billions of dollars in investments in renewable energy projects all around the world. The increased pace of development […]
Earth wasn’t the only potentially habitable planet in the early Solar System. What happened to Mars? If you could travel back in time to the early stages of the Solar System, […]
FOIA release sheds light on the DOD’s own struggle to understand UFOs.
In order to reap the greatest rewards, we have to think big and invest big. One of these four missions will deliver like never before. When it comes to exploring the […]

If you were to compress the entire history of the Universe into one calendar year, everything we love happens on December 31st. Our Universe has been around for 13.8 billion years […]
Bill Maher called for fat shaming last week. His argument makes sense.
Intense lightning could have burned us out of the trees.
We know that life is possible on an Earth-like world around a Sun-like star. But can it find a way on a Super-Earth? When it comes to the origin of […]
Maps show the oldest company in (nearly) every country – and a few interesting corporate trends.
The ‘giant impact’ that led to Earth might not have been so giant, after all. A little over 4.5 billion years ago, our Solar System began to form. Somewhere in the […]
It’s not a question we know enough to know the answer to, but to dismiss the possibility is scientifically baseless. There’s one question that most of us ask at some […]
Hint: Both lead to the same metabolic state.
Living 150 years sounds great… till you consider the effects on population.
Instead of eternal expansion, could we just be part of a universal cosmic cycle? There are few questions that can keep us up at night the way pondering the eventual fate […]
Gravity and time are so different from what you’d expect. Here’s how it all would end. If you could only know the answer to one question about the Universe, what would […]
Is the future with radiative cooling?
An innovation may lead to lifelike evolving machines.
