Never draw a conclusion, no matter how ‘obvious,’ without doing the experiment first. We all love our most cherished ideas about how the world and the Universe works. Our conception […]
This list of 10 non-winners is 50% women, but 100% outrageous. In science, advances often come in great leaps. In hindsight, it’s easy to identify perhaps hundreds of small steps […]
New studies support the benefits of the Mediterrean Diet.
For just a year’s worth of US Military budget, we could transform the world. The United States spends more on military spending than the next ten nations combined: an estimated $600 […]
The study also discovered a downside to having a big brain.
Infographics present the latest NHTSA statistics on the likelihood of having a fatal accident while commuting to and from work.
It’s currently billions of tonnes of fossil fuels every year. With new (or existing!) technologies, we could literally change the world. “In terms of weapons, the best disarmament tool so far […]
If you think we know it all, you’ll never be ready for the next big breakthrough. When you’re taught the scientific method, you think of a neat procedure you can […]
Scientists propose an out-of-the-box theory about why the world has no more than three dimensions.
Global warming and climate change is already reshaping coastlines due to higher waters. Pretty soon our next big cities will have to be at sea. But how will they make sustainable food?

We all want to help our children learn and a new study shows that encouraging curiosity might be the best way to do it.
Hunting trophies, by the thousands, lined the walls of his palaces and lodges.
While today profuse sweating is a social embarrassment, in the past it gave us an evolutionary advantage.
A new form of light has been discovered.
A children’s hospital is “the first of many solar + storage projects going live” on the island, Elon Musk announced.
If you want to go where no one has gone before, you have to make the investment. Here’s what last week’s launch means. If you want to send humans to Mars, […]
Although there is much guesswork as to the future of artificial intelligence, today’s AI systems continue to be a boon for science.
New research predicts the existence of completely different kind of stars.
A new study shows how increased coffee consumption interacts with the endocannabinoid system, which the body uses to process cannabinoids found in marijuana.
A cosmic controversy is back, and at least one camp — perhaps both — is making an unidentified error. Ever since Hubble first discovered the relationship between a galaxy’s distance and its motion away […]
In this radical view, the universe is a giant supercomputer processing particles as bits.
The Big Bang happened everywhere at once, but stars are a different story. The Universe, back at its inception, was almost perfectly identical everywhere. It was the same high temperature […]
Including where to go, and when, for the most spectacular views. Against the backdrop of a dark, clear night sky, you can see the Moon, planets, stars, the Milky Way, […]
Signals from rare black hole-neutron star pairs could pinpoint rate at which universe is growing, researchers say.
If you can’t explain the astrophysical signal that you see and cry ‘dark matter,’ chances are you’re not thinking hard enough. Despite our knowledge of the laws of physics, and the […]
If you’ve ever wondered which part of physics covers which part of space, fret no more. Here is an awesome map that lays it all out.
How the gravitational Casimir effect might cause our Universe’s accelerated expansion, without any new physics at all. “For although it is certainly true that quantitative measurements are of great importance, it […]
Finding Opportunity Where Others Think It’s Impossible In this video for Big Think+, Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, talks about how opportunity isn’t based on “disruption for […]
Most people will experience feelings of deep loss and distress after a long-term relationship breakup.
