In her new memoir, Duke Divinity School professor Kate Bowler opens up about battling Stage IV cancer.
Perhaps energy isn’t conserved at all in an expanding Universe. If you have a Universe full of stuff — whether that’s atoms, dark matter, radiation, neutrinos, or anything else — it’s virtually impossible to […]
Why are we so drawn to supernatural beliefs?
Dark energy means that the Universe’s expansion is accelerating. But how big will it get, and how fast? Our Universe, as we observe it today, is a vast, enormous place, full […]
Figure skating has a lot to do with physics, and here’s what we mean. Also, what’s the difference between all those figure-skating jumps?
A very useful Venn diagram illustrates this concept perfectly.
If we don’t invest in learning about the Universe, we aren’t going to learn very much. Every ten years, the field of astronomy and astrophysics undergoes a Decadal Survey. This charts […]
If the bolide had hit just 30 seconds later, we’d be looking at a very different Earth.
A new study shows that adult dogs can learn to distinguish generous and selfish people, but puppies can’t.
The indirectly find was completely unexpected, and, if it holds up, could give the James Webb Space Telescope its first tantalizing target. In the quest to understand our Universe, and […]

There’s a big reason no one, not even Stephen Hawking, could fill Carl Sagan’s shoes. Everyone has a unique story to tell. For scientists, that story is one that usually only […]
The possibilities were almost limitless, so why does everything line up? Our Solar System is an orderly place, with the four inner planets, the asteroid belt, and the gas giant worlds […]
A number of marijuana companies are kicked off social media without explanation, which is going to force the cannabis industry to answer questions of identity.
Science can do a whole lot of things, but proving a scientific theory is still an impossibility. You’ve heard of our greatest scientific theories: the theory of evolution, the Big […]
The study also discovered a downside to having a big brain.
The ‘big discovery’ is nothing of the kind. We need a new planet-finding mission to probe the next frontier. Last week, NASA dropped a bombshell that it’s Kepler mission — the greatest […]
Predictive policing introduces a scientific element to law enforcement decisions, such as whether to investigate or detain, how long to sentence, and whether to parole.
The truth might not be ‘out there’ at all. There may never have been another intelligent, technologically advanced alien species in the entire history of the Universe. When you take into […]
His guiding spirit Thomas helped the author make better financial decisions and take care of his health.
Sometimes, you look in a nearby galaxy, and what you find beyond it will change everything. Einstein’s theory of General Relativity has withstood every test for more than a century. […]
The Event Horizon Telescope has come online and taken its data. Now, we wait for the results. Black holes are some of the most incredible objects in the Universe. There are […]
They’re less than a billion years old. And, thanks to ALMA, they might finally pave the way to understanding how galaxies form. How do galaxies like our Milky Way come to […]
Quarantines are worth the trouble to keep the next pandemic at bay but they need to be applied intelligently.
Apparently bees can understand zero, making them the first invertebrate members of an exclusive club.
