We bring multifaceted selves to our interactions, and in these interactions co-create each other again and again.
Through self-tracking and self-experimentation, we can greatly improve our cognitive capacity.
A black hole punched a hole 15 Milky Ways across in a galaxy cluster’s gas, by far the largest ‘kaboom’ ever seen. The Universe, everywhere we look, is full of cataclysmic […]
The problem is going to get a lot worse before it gets better, and the decision is all up to SpaceX whether they’ll fix it. On Wednesday morning, January 29, 2020, […]
Even diehard fans are experiencing superhero exhaustion. But it’s not impossible to do something original.
A generation ago, NASA launched their great observatories to explore the Universe. It’s time for round 2. Throughout the history of astronomy, every advance we’ve ever made has come about because […]
Researchers at University College London link waist circumference with dementia.
75 years after Erwin Schrödinger’s prescient description of something like DNA, we still don’t know the “laws of life.”
It’s massive, it’s transparent, and it’s ubiquitous. But so is our ignorance. When we look out at the Universe, we have two general ways to try and make sense of […]
Just because something’s unlikely doesn’t mean that anything’s wrong. In our quest to understand the Universe, theoretical physics is perhaps the most powerful tool we have as far as making […]
Problem-solving skills are in demand. Every job posting lists them under must-have qualifications, and every job candidate claims to possess them, par excellence. Young entrepreneurs make solutions to social and […]
Despite Betelgeuse’s recent faintening and brightening, I’d bet on these stars instead. Betelgeuse, a nearby red supergiant, will someday explode. The black hole at the center of the Milky Way should […]
A new paper suggests that the mysterious X17 subatomic particle is indicative of a fifth force of nature.
A mission is planned for just three weeks from now, but NASA has a plan.
Can spacekime help us make headway on some of the most pernicious inconsistencies in physics?
On larger and larger scales, many of the same structures we see at small ones repeat themselves. Do we live in a fractal Universe?
A new study shows that the top rap songs in the U.S. are making increasingly frequent references to depression and suicidal thoughts.
And which ones are probably examples where we’ve fooled ourselves? Every once in a while — multiple times per year — a new research finding fails to line up with our theoretical expectations. In […]
If dark matter is fundamentally different from the normal matter we know, there should be a way to test it. Here are the results. Dark matter — despite the enormous indirect evidence for […]
Out of all the galaxies we know, only a few little ones are missing dark matter. At last, we finally understand why.
94 percent of men in the study have this mutation, which explains why men are more likely to die.
Complex organisms and living worlds couldn’t exist without these transitions. You couldn’t make the Universe we have today if everything were always the same. Although many philosophically favored the idea […]
It comes from a supernova seen just 33 years ago, and it doesn’t pulse. 33 years ago, a supernova occurred just 168,000 light-years from Earth. This new image of the supernova […]
They said the “missing half” of the Universe’s matter was just found. But what they found barely makes a dent to the big picture. When we look up into the great […]
Only 17 years after its discovery have we learned we’re safe from asteroid Apophis. Ever since its 2004 discovery, asteroid 99942 Apophis has threatened planet Earth. Asteroid Apophis has been measured […]
More than 70% of college students procrastinate
Every observation out into deep space is also a look back in time. Whenever you observe an object, you aren’t viewing it in its present state. When one of Jupiter’s moons […]
Historically, periods of mass flourishing are underpinned by technological revolutions. Currently, we are undergoing a technological revolution unlike anything the world has ever seen.
People often make a killing in stocks, but there are other ways to potentially turn major profits.
