Many people out there, including scientists, claim to have discovered a series of game-changing revolutions. Here's why we don't buy it.
The Universe isn't as "clumpy" as we think it should be.
Out of sight, but not out of mind.
When you bring two fingers together, you can feel them "touch" each other. But are your atoms really touching, and if so, how?
The central equation of quantum mechanics, the Schrödinger equation, is different from the equations found in classical physics.
JWST has seen more distant galaxies than any other observatory, ever. But many candidates for "most distant of all" are likely impostors.
In 1920, astronomers debated the nature of the Universe. The results were meaningless until years later, when the key evidence arrived.
For nearly a century, physicists have argued over how to interpret quantum physics. But reality exists independent of any interpretation.
Every proton contains three quarks: two up and one down. But charm quarks, heavier than the proton itself, have been found inside. How?
A conservator from the Rijksmuseum explains how they went about investigating whether the painting is a genuine Rembrandt.
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.
Our understanding always will remain incomplete.
UAP are no laughing matter anymore.
When people pick the greatest scientist of all-time, Newton and Einstein always come up. Perhaps they should name Johannes Kepler, instead.
Even the dictionary doesn't get the definition right.
Venus Life Finder could launch as early as 2023.
If you can model anything in the Universe with an equation, mathematics is how you get the solution(s). Physics must go a step further.
Quantum mechanics forces us to toss out the old, reliable ways in which we make sense of our everyday reality.
Is it deliberate fraud or just bad research?
Unexpected images of galaxies from the James Webb Space Telescope do not disprove the Big Bang. There are other likelier explanations.
Searching for dark matter, the XENON collaboration found absolutely nothing out of the ordinary. Here's why that's an extraordinary feat.
The length of a day oscillates slightly every six years. This was a surprising discovery made last decade. We might now know why.
Predatory dinosaurs with big skulls tend to have tiny arms. Researchers propose there might be a direct link between those traits.
Some ozone experts seriously doubt the findings.
It might seem like science and faith are at war, but the two have a historical synergy that extends back in time for centuries.

The neutrino is the most ghostly, rarely-interacting particle in all the Standard Model. How well can we truly make "beams" out of them?
The way to understand the earliest moments of creation is to recreate those conditions and study them. Why would we stop now?
The strangest thing about trying to predict the future is that our only clues lie in the past.
There is nothing more important to science than its ability to prove ideas wrong.
