The strongest pull for hundreds of millions of light years goes toe-to-toe against the most energetic force of all. “We detect motion along this axis, but right now our data cannot […]
Researchers at Queen Mary University have inched us closer toward an invisibility cloak, for starters.
If the waste we have is so hazardous, and we have the capability, why don’t we hurl it all into the Sun? “There will be peace when the people of the […]
Our tiny Earth may have changed a lot, but the gradual changes of the Universe add up, too. “We are not the same persons this year as last; nor are those […]
But not every location was created equal. “Far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the western spiral arm of the Galaxy lies a small unregarded yellow sun. […]
Physicists discover strikingly similar structures in human cells and neutron stars.
Theaters today seem like hallowed ground, says Harvard’s Diane Paulus, but that’s not their natural state. Once, they had the same atmosphere as sport: visceral, alive, and indebted to its audience. How can we get back there?

The force of empty space isn’t always zero. Here’s how an electromagnetic experiment might be the key to dark energy. “Another very good test some readers may want to look up… […]
Elon Musk’s growing relationship with President Trump can result in revolutionizing the country’s aging infrastructure.
More than a million times what we make at the LHC, these could be the ultimate keys to nature. “Energy is liberated matter, matter is energy waiting to happen.” –Bill Bryson […]
Sorry to all you ‘Flash’ fans out there; it’s not reality yet. This article was written by Sabine Hossenfelder. Sabine is a theoretical physicist specialized in quantum gravity and high energy […]
Farewell Moon, we barely knew you. Bill Nye knows the Moon is moving away from Earth 1.48 inches per year. Will it keep drifting further away, and what happens to Earth when it does?

Evidence suggests that gains in symptom reduction are permanent.
How sure are we that what we’re looking at is cosmic, rather than galactic? “Every philosophy also conceals a philosophy; every opinion is also a hideout, every word also a […]
Physicist Erik Verlinde’s theory successfully predicts the distribution of gravity around 33,000+ galaxies without relying on unobserved “dark matter”.
In 1994, Miguel Alcubierre showed how warp drive could be made real within General Relativity. What does that imply? “Its continuing mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new […]
Physicists may be close to creating the theoretical “time crystals”.
Genetic, immune, and neurological components point to evolutionary underpinnings.
If you think you can just add up its components, you’re 99% short! “Resistance to the organized mass can be effected only by the man who is as well organized in […]
Yes, climate change movies are sad and often lead to quiet desperation, but here’s why we should continue watching and acting.
The “Red Queen Hypothesis” has been strengthened considerably by this study.
Only a few galaxies exhibit this green glow in the nearby Universe. At early times, it’s practically all of the brightest ones. “The discovery that young galaxies are so unexpectedly […]
Our universe is flat, geometrically. But what exactly does “flat” mean?
And could every black hole our Universe creates give rise to a baby Universe itself? “Man is something that shall be overcome. Man is a rope,tied between beast and overman — a rope […]
Anti-vaxxers may have a friend coming into the White House, and medical experts are worried.
You’ve never seen a rogue planet like this. “Other galaxies like Andromeda are shooting these ‘spitballs’ at us all the time.” –James Guillochon, coauthor on the new study Black holes don’t […]
Magnetic reconnection this fast shouldn’t be possible, yet we see it everywhere we look. Finally, we know why. “We are inside this plasma,and plasma is inside everything. It is incandescentin the […]
Because “Earth-like” doesn’t necessarily mean “like our Earth.” “I have lost tolerance for things without meaning. There is no time for them. Does that make sense?” –Sara Seager At the end […]
