While attempting to defend flat earth theory, he described forces that perfectly match gravity. The contradiction went ...

Sailing upwind seems impossible, yet it shaped exploration, trade, and naval power for centuries. This breaks down the physics of lift, hull resistance, keels, and tacking to show how sailors learned ...

Like stretch marks left on skin that expanded too quickly or cracks embedded in freezing ice, cosmic strings are artifacts of ...

New research reveals that Central Asia’s rugged terrain was molded by the vanished Tethys Ocean, millions of years before the Himalayas even rose.

Dark matter seems invisible, but it makes up most matter, and we have evidence that it gives the cosmos its shape. Now ...

This is what the creation of a Higgs Boson looks like to the Large Hadron Collider. (Credit: CERN) The Higgs boson is, if nothing else, the most expensive particle of all time. It's a bit of an unfair ...

How many electrons are there in the Universe? One bold theory suggests that there could only be one, although this theory has ...

For years, the James Webb Space Telescope has been spotting enormous black holes in the early universe that defy all ...

The international team of astronomers reports that all of the types of ice in the comet appear to be sublimating. This is the phase change where a solid turns into a gas, skipping the liquid phase.
