“Nice and in control: the twin peaks of a good reputation…But since we are riddled with contradiction, this is not a simple story.”
The study may help us develop a new biomarker for obesity and even type 2 diabetes.
This could change everything we know about gravity and universal expansion.
LIGO and Virgo reveal a gravitational wave was detected on two different continents. Here’s what that means and why it matters.
In The Road to Character, David Brooks argues that our moral vocabulary is severely lacking.
Even though we’ve never seen them, here’s what we already know. “Suddenly whole new programs open up, things you can do that you could never do before. It’d be great scientifically, […]
Quantum interpretations are all the rage. Too bad you don’t even need one. In everyday life, there are certain rules we take for granted: cause-and-effect, for instance. Something occurs, and that […]
Different gut bacteria may affect differently the way energy is metabolized from foods.
Images taken 20 years apart show the rate of evaporation, and they’ll take much more than mere thousands of years to destroy. In 1995, the Hubble Space Telescope snapped one of […]
Don’t believe in dark matter or dark energy? Your view of the Universe just got a lot more difficult. If you ask an astrophysicist what’s the greatest puzzle in the […]
Most stars obey very similar rules, making them almost entirely predictable. But then, there are the weirdos. Catch this live-blog event to learn more. When we look out at the Universe […]
It’s a lot more than just being unable to measure two things simultaneously. “In the future, maybe quantum mechanics will teach us something equally chilling about exactly how we exist […]
Finding a warm-hot intergalactic plasma is amazing! But we still need dark matter just as much as ever. “There are stars leaving the Milky Way, and immense gas clouds falling […]
A new study examines reasons behind the persistence of neuromyths.
These may not be the only social predators that do.
They’re the fastest rotators of all. So how distorted are they? There are very few objects in the Universe that stand still; almost everything we know of rotates in some way. […]
Edward Luce’s new book is The Retreat of Western Liberalism, but let’s clarify its logic.
A study finds that happen music enhances divergent thinking, and thus, creativity.
We compiled a list of seven of the greatest public speakers of all time, people who forever changed the course of history with their words.
A US-based company is genetically creating proteins similar to bovine collagen to make leather from living cells without the need of animals.
Rationality isn’t the rule, it’s rare. That’s true of the sort of optimizing rationality that economists presume we all have (even though many economists themselves fall short of that standard).
As wonderful as the evidence that supports or invalidates a theory is, it can never truly kill the ones that don’t work out. When it comes to science, we like to […]
The red planet is nearby, cool, sunny, and was once potentially habitable. Could it someday be that way again? “It would be great some day to have astronauts in a rover […]
There is, and never will be, a substitute for the real knowledge we’ve obtained about the actual Universe. “There are two infinities that confuse me: the one in my soul […]
The study had some interesting findings for the adult children of separated parents who were civil.
Is logic an immutable, unchangeable set of rules? Or has it it evolved with time – and will it continue to do so?
Want to be hotter? Add more mass. Want to go even hotter than that? Lose almost all of it. “A candidate is not going to suddenly change once they get into […]
The first stars formed almost half a billion years before we could see their light. Here’s why. At the moment of the Big Bang, the Universe was full of matter and […]
