It’s better to pursue moral actions instead of the ephemeral state of happiness, according to the philosopher Immanuel Kant.
The first personality tests revolved around assessing people’s reactions to ambiguous and often unsettling images. Today, the gold standard is a barrage of questions.

From Brahms to Tchaikovsky, here’s a curated list of composers whose music has shaped the classical canon.
“Imagination is more important than knowledge” is often taken to mean that your conceptions outweigh what’s real. That’s not what he said.
Wizbang innovations capture the public’s imagination, but thoughtful, incremental development is often more valuable to those in need.
From Atlantis to Thule, these mythical locales have captivated people’s imaginations for centuries.
Some authors never saw their books score widespread acclaim—or even get published at all.
A next-generation LHC++ could cost $100 billion. Here’s why such a machine could end up being a massive waste of money.
Nuclear fusion has long been seen as the future of energy. As the NIF now passes the breakeven point, how close are we to our ultimate goal?
Grandmasters and drug dealers have one thing in common: They are many steps ahead of their rivals.
Many people out there, including scientists, claim to have discovered a series of game-changing revolutions. Here’s why we don’t buy it.
Bite into a miracle berry and you’ll perceive intense sweetness — but only after you eat something acidic, too.
When we look out at the Universe, even with Hubble, we’re only seeing the closest, biggest, brightest galaxies. Here’s where the rest are.
As interest rates rise, the “dead pledge” may live up to its name.
From the Big Bang to black holes, singularities are hard to avoid. The math definitely predicts them, but are they truly, physically real?
Nietzsche both wished he was as stupid as a cow so he wouldn’t have to contemplate existence, and pitied cows for being so stupid that they couldn’t contemplate existence.
Billions of years ago, the ever-increasing entropy must’ve been much lower: the past hypothesis. Here’s how cosmic inflation solves it.
Research suggests that emotional intelligence is more vital for success than IQ.
There’s a speed limit to the Universe: the speed of light in a vacuum. Want to beat the speed of light? Try going through a medium!
Magnetic monopoles began as a mere theoretical curiosity. They might hold the key to understanding so much more.
Many people lived long enough to grow old in the olden days, too.
The highest-energy particles could be a sign of new, unexpected physics. But the simplest, most mundane explanation is particularly iron-ic.
“Hubble’s Law” is only an approximation, and breaks down when we need it most. From anywhere in the Universe, you can choose to look out at any other galaxy that’s present. […]
Venus Life Finder could launch as early as 2023.
The artifacts were often made from found objects – an Ivory dish-soap bottle transformed into an earthenware figure.
