Save the New Horizons beyond Pluto Mission!
Sign the Petition! Stop them! Congress wants to cut funding for the New Horizons Team which would cause all the data collected by the New Horizons Space craft to be…
New physics or not? I’ll sort it out for you.
Some physicists are claiming that there is something "wrong" with our understanding of the universe. Oftentimes, it's just to justify asking for funding for new experiments, a better detector, a…

Eerie Implications of Hawking Points –“Corpses of Black Holes from Before the Big Bang”
Black Holes Will Start to Glow in the Night Sky As described by the Penrose Institute, our universe is expanding and as it cools over the next googol (10100) years the…
Green Stars mean Intelligent Life
The cosmos is littered with blue and red stars... but curiously no green ones. Why? Is this a fundamental constraint or merely an unlikely outcome? And what would it mean…
Faster-Than-Light Leads To Time Paradoxes
Is faster-than-light (FTL) travel possible? In most discussions of this, we get hung up on the physics of particular ideas, such as wormholes or warp drives. But today, we take…
