It could evolve, strengthen, decay, or not be alone. Our known Universe contains matter, radiation, and dark energy. While matter (both normal and dark) and radiation become less dense as […]

The newly discovered galaxies are 62 times bigger than the Milky Way.
The combination of charge conjugation, parity, and time-reversal symmetry is known as CPT. And it must never be broken. Ever.
Speculation about the existence of aliens goes all the way back at least to the Greek philosophers. Their arguments will sound familiar.
The Earth that exists today wasn’t formed simultaneously with the Sun and the other planets. In some ways, we’re quite a latecomer.
New mathematics have shown that lines of energy can be used to describe the universe.
JWST has brought us more distant views of the early Universe than ever before. Is the Big Bang, and all of modern cosmology, in trouble?
With such a vast Universe and raw ingredients that seem to be everywhere, could it really be possible that humanity is truly alone?
Discussions of human evolution are usually backward looking, as if the greatest triumphs and challenges were in the distant past.
Math can explain why your laces spontaneously come untied — and how to stop it.
These ten maps provide a fascinating insight into the impact that soccer (sorry, football) has had worldwide.
If they have mass, then why don’t we see any slow-moving ones? For decades, the neutrino was among the most puzzling and elusive of cosmic particles. It took more than […]
Are dark matter and dark energy both two sides of the same coin? When it comes to the Universe, what you can easily see isn’t always reflective of all there is. […]
Wireless charging isn’t just for phones and laptops. It could also power medical devices like heart implants.
A wild, compelling idea without a direct, practical test, the Multiverse is highly controversial. But its supporting pillars sure are stable.
An annular eclipse is coming to Earth on October 14, 2023. Six months later, a total solar eclipse is headed our way. Here’s the reason why.
The uptick in Arctic lightning could cause more wildfires, potentially triggering a feedback loop that releases massive amounts of carbon into the atmosphere.
In Einstein’s relativity and the Standard Model, we only have three spatial dimensions. But there could be more, and many think there are.
Here’s your gateway to enjoying the best of literature.
We can describe what we see happening, but we don’t understand why. Despite our vast cosmic knowledge, enormous unknowns remain. The quantum fluctuations inherent to space, stretched across the Universe […]
Men with one older brother are 12% more likely to enter a same-sex union than those with a sister.
About six minutes after the heart stops, the brain essentially dies.
The brightest object in the night sky, our Moon is an unmistakable sight. The brightest object in the night sky, our Moon is an unmistakable sight. The Moon, in a […]
A theoretical physicist returns to Penrose and Hameroff’s theory of “quantum consciousness.”
Some think the reason fundamental scientific revolutions are so rare is because of groupthink. It’s not; it’s hard to mess with success.
An artist’s impression of what the fully-deployed James Webb Space telescope will look like from the perspective of an observer on the ‘dark’ (non-Sun-facing) side of the observatory. (NORTHRUP GRUMMAN) […]
