Science
Science cannot help us understand or describe first-person experience. Zen koans are a powerful form for helping us reach that description.
When supermassive black holes merge, they emit more energy than anything else to occur in our Universe except the Big Bang.
Even with quantum teleportation and the existence of entangled quantum states, faster-than-light communication still remains impossible.
In our Solar System, even the two brightest planets frequently align in our skies. But only rarely is it spectacularly visible from Earth.
Though ultimately incorrect, the ancient Greek philosophers blazed a conceptual trail for humankind to understand the nature of reality.
We may have discovered alien life already but rejected the evidence too quickly because it seemed false at first glance.
This year marks 2,000 years since the birth of the Roman author of the first natural encyclopedia.
Science will lead us to a universal morality and a cosmic religion.
Though quantum mechanics is an incredibly successful theory, nobody knows what it means. Scientists now must confront its philosophical implications.
A Fermilab study confirms decades-old measurements regarding the size and structure of protons.
What we've learning from the world’s coldest, most forbidding, and most peaceful continent.
Humanity's newest, most powerful space telescope is performing even better than predicted. The reason why is unprecedented.
Individual space telescopes, like Hubble and JWST, revolutionized our knowledge of the Universe. What if we had an array of them, instead?
Einstein tried to disprove quantum mechanics. Instead, a weird concept called entanglement showed that Einstein was wrong.
Most of us have heard that the Sun is an ordinary, typical, unremarkable star. But science shows we're actually anything but average.
He was also a eugenicist — but at least he could draw pretty pictures.
In 1920, astronomers debated the nature of the Universe. The results were meaningless until years later, when the key evidence arrived.
For years and over three separate experiments, "lepton universality" appeared to violate the Standard Model. LHCb at last proved otherwise.
You can lead an overconfident chatbot to expert knowledge, but can it actually learn and assimilate new information?
It's spooky, and it's happening all around us. And inside us.
The very dust that blocks our view of the distant, luminous objects in the Universe is responsible for our entire existence.
The spikes in their mouths would have helped them catch squid or fish.
The answer to this question is key to understanding why anything exists.
Supermassive black holes at the centers of galaxies gobble up whatever matter ventures too close, becoming active. Here's how they work.
Bathybius haeckelii was briefly thought to be the link between inorganic matter and organic life.
There are at least 15 different types of solid water (ice). Now, scientists believe that there might be a second type of liquid water.
Science is for everyone, even those possessing strongly held beliefs that seem to conflict with the best available evidence.
Your mentors made time for you. Now, go and make time for others.
