Perhaps we’re not alone but instead reside in a multiverse stocked with all sorts of fantastical realms. These other universes are somewhat—but not exactly—like our own. Maybe gravity acts differentl…
This supercomputer simulation demonstrates one of the greatest powerful occasions in the universe: a pair of neutron stars striking, merging and creating a black hole. A neutron star is the dense cor…
As soon as our solar system was made from a spinning cloud of dust and gas, it came about to form in such a way that all planets assemble on a single plane. But through all of 3D space to select from…
‘ WHAT came before the Big Bang? ’ is a question that has plagued scientists for millennia, but experts may have the answer. Several solutions have been offered up to the age old conundrum, including…
SCIENTISTS have managed to prove that event horizons of a black hole are real and that matter disappears when it crosses such a point. Once matter crosses the event horizon of a black hole it is unab…
Stephen Hawking submitted the final version of his last scientific paper just two weeks before he died, and it lays the theoretical groundwork for discovering a parallel universe. Hawking, who passed…
A group of researchers have built the world's largest simulation of the universe , containing around 25 billion virtual galaxies. The simulation could help in the search for mysterious dark matte…
A group of three scientists says they have found the best place to look for indication of ancient life on the Red Planet — one of the youngest lake- bearing basins ever revealed. However Mars has…
Famous theoretical physicist and cosmologist Stephen Hawking, without any doubt, is one of the greatest scientific minds in human history. In this fascinating animation for The Guardian’s MadeSimple …
First detected in 2002, Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) are quick, high-energy pulses originating from galaxies billions of light years away. Scientists still don’t know the true nature of these bursts or w…
There may be at least half a million pieces of man-made junk orbiting this planet . Tiny pieces can travel around 10 kilometers per second, far faster than a bullet. The International Space Station …
It’s the 21st century, yet these days it’s feeling an awful lot like the frosty bite of the Cold War is, somehow, back from the dead. We’ve got Russian attacks on American institutions (well, cyber…
Taking Einstein's famous equations at face value and making as few assumptions as possible, a team of researchers has rewound the clock on our Universe to find it wouldn't lead to a stopping …
On a YouTube channel Big Think, Dr. Michio Kaku takes a moment to discuss the death of the universe, how long we have, and how we might be able to hitch a ride into a neighboring, parallel universe. …
A couple of years ago, researchers at NASA’s Johnson Space Center discovered a thruster system which actually generates thrust, despite requiring absolutely no propellant. The implications of this di…
A real EM Drive is about to be launched into space for the first time in history, so researchers can finally discover, once and for all, if it actually is possible for a rocket engine to create thrus…
Only one spacecraft, Voyager 2, has ever visited the ice giants Neptune and Uranus . That could be set to change next decade, as NASA is considering sending an orbiter to one of these planets. A repo…
