“The Soul of a New Machine” provides a rare level of insight into the minds and decisions of humanity’s greatest thinkers.
We give it the flight plan, and it takes care of the rest. It has to. Here’s why. No matter how advanced our technology becomes, there are certain limits that can […]
If you want to share the truths about our Universe with others, don’t fall into the trap of arguing with a misinformer. Do this instead.
If dark energy gets stronger with time, our fate could be an utter catastrophe. When it comes to the entire Universe, one of the biggest existential questions we’re capable of […]
Extremely precise atomic clocks are not just of theoretical interest; they could help detect impending volcanic eruptions or melting glaciers.
Most exoplanets have been found around single stars via the transit method. But binary star systems might contain even more of them.
Dead whales inspire a way to find extraterrestrial life on Mars.
The most massive galaxies lost their star-forming material very early on and never got it back.
It peaks the nights of August 11–13, but it’s no longer the year’s most reliable meteor shower. Every year, beginning in mid-July, planet Earth commences passing through an enormous debris […]
On the morning of June 30, 1908, an explosion of more than 10 megatons occurred above the sparsely populated Siberian Taiga. What caused the so-called Tunguska event?
