Give yourself (and others) a break.
Many have argued that morals are relative, but Russia’s war crimes reveal the hollowness of that belief. Morality is universal and objective.
Jupiter’s atmosphere is hotter than it should be, and now we know why.
The highest earning Myers-Briggs personality type? ENTJ.
The whole isn’t greater than the sum of its parts; that’s a flaw in our thinking. Non-reductionism requires magic, not merely science.
To study the origin of the Universe, we could build a constellation of six expensive spacecraft — or we could just use the Moon.
Harmony and moderation make for a happier life.
Better cognitive control over our decisions can stave off disappointment in our actions.
Driving Teslas and planting trees are nice, but methane reduction, industrial efficiency, carbon removal, and a moderate carbon tax are the most efficient ways to fight climate change.
Leftover Cold War-era bunkers are still kept in a state of readiness to protect the population from nuclear war.
Why does Seattle continue to be a place that nurtures the development of breakthrough technologies but not Minneapolis, Memphis, or Minsk?
Theoretical physicist Geoffrey West explains the science behind a unique hypothesis.
Science is an ongoing flirtation with the unknown.
Researchers estimate there may be as many as ten million trillion trillion phages on Earth — that’s 10 with 30 zeros after it.
According to Harvard career advisor Gorick Ng, this time-saving system can help us reclaim our work-life sanity.
There are so many problems, all across planet Earth, that harm and threaten humanity. Why invest in researching the Universe?
The typical car is parked 95% of the time.
Nobody actually knows what will come of AI. But we can console ourselves with the knowledge that nobody has ever really known anything about the future.
For nearly a century, physicists have argued over how to interpret quantum physics. But reality exists independent of any interpretation.
AI can deliver a more equitable and prosperous future — if accompanied by ethical and responsible stewardship.
Since our arrival, humans have driven a seven-fold drop in the mass of wild land mammals.
From up close, the cracking sound of a thunderclap dominates. From far away, it’s more like a drawn-out rumble. Can science explain why?
Or is ‘new space’ created in between the gaps of the ‘old’ space? It’s been almost 100 years since humanity first reached a revolutionary conclusion about our Universe: space itself doesn’t […]
Although many dinosaurs never left the ground, they still possessed the basic structural framework for flight.
Probably not. Even though we’re still investigating the origin of life, the evidence suggests that cells came much later.
Meet the power plant of the future.
New technology is helping physicists move forward in the search for the Theory of Everything.
Cosmic rays aren’t just limited by the speed of light. Even among non-scientists, it’s well-understood that there’s an ultimate speed limit to the Universe: the speed of light. If you’re a […]
We used to think the Big Bang meant the universe began from a singularity. Nearly 100 years later, we’re not so sure.
