It's the best-known transcendental number of all-time, and March 14 (3/14 in many countries) is the perfect time to celebrate Pi (π) Day! → Read More
Somewhere out there in the Universe is the heaviest neutron star, and elsewhere lies the lightest black hole. Where's the line between them? → Read More
Two very different ideas, wormholes and quantum entanglement, might be fundamentally related. What would "ER = EPR" mean for our Universe? → Read More
If you're a massless particle, you must always move at light speed. If you have mass, you must go slower. So why aren't any neutrinos slow? → Read More
Dark energy is one of the biggest mysteries in all the Universe. Is there some way to avoid "having to live with it?" → Read More
Are quantum fields real, or are they simply calculational tools? These 3 experiments show that if energy is real, so are quantum fields. → Read More
Even if a balloon flies directly overhead, attempting to shoot it down with a conventional firearm is stupid, ineffective, and dangerous. → Read More
Generations ago, cosmologists asserted that the Universe might not just be the same in all directions, but at all times. But is that true? → Read More
In General Relativity, white holes are just as mathematically plausible as black holes. Black holes are real; what about white holes? → Read More
Capacitors, acid batteries, and other methods of storing electric charges all lose energy over time. These gravity-fed batteries won't. → Read More
Most globular clusters appear to form their stars all at once, but there are exceptions. JWST just observed how "second formations" happen. → Read More
Here on Earth, the Sun is our primary source of light, heat, and energy. But it also poses a grave threat to human civilization. → Read More
Most of us have heard that the Sun is an ordinary, typical, unremarkable star. But science shows we're actually anything but average. → Read More
Yes, dark energy is real. Yes, distant galaxies recede faster and faster as time goes on. But nthe expansion rate isn't accelerating at all. → Read More
In the grand scheme of the cosmic story, a single year isn't all that significant. But over time, the annual changes really add up! → Read More
There could be variables beyond the ones we've identified and know how to measure. But they can't get rid of quantum weirdness. → Read More
The very word "quantum" makes people's imaginations run wild. But chances are you've fallen for at least one of these myths. → Read More
Despite the Sun's high core temperatures, particle's can't quite overcome their mutual electric repulsion. Good thing for quantum physics! → Read More
For nearly a century, physicists have argued over how to interpret quantum physics. But reality exists independent of any interpretation. → Read More
Ever since the Big Bang, cataclysmic events have released enormous amounts of energy. Here's the greatest one ever witnessed. → Read More
