Astronomers Find Galaxy Cluster with Mass of Two Quadrillion Suns NASA and ESO astronomers have joined forces to observe RCS2 J2327-0204, one of the most massive galaxy clusters known at its distance or beyond. RCS2 J2327-0204 is an extremely massive cluster of galaxies located approximately...

Modeling of imagery from the Hubble Space Telescope estimates there are two trillion galaxies in the Universe, 90% of which exist beyond our view An international team of astronomers, led by Christopher Conselice, Professor of Astrophysics at the University of Nottingham, have found that the...

wo wonderful videos showing the impact of a comet on Jupiter. These two different amateur astronomers happened to catch an object impacting Jupiter back on March 17th. Here are their videos. The brief flash on Jupiter's limb is the object basically vaporizing as it hits Jupiter's...

When considering where to place this thread I had to consider what was more relevant to the information that this contained. As a man of science who believes in a spiritual essence to the universe I was torn between posting this in the spiritual section of the site or posting directly in the...

Newton is known to everyone for his discovery of calculus and gravity. But secret papers bought and decoded by the economist John Maynard Keynes in the 1930s reveal that Newton's thoughts were by no means limited to what is called science today. Indeed, his greatest passion was for alchemy...

Nobel Laureate, Richard Feynman, gives an entertaining series of TV lectures on the laws of physics as they are understood in modern times.

Professor Terry Rudolph of Imperial College London, who happens to be the grandson of Erwin Schrödinger, questions our ideas of reality and of Quantum Theory in a highly informative and entertaining manner.

The definition of a Black Hole is that you have to move faster than the speed of light to escape it - and physics says that this is impossible. But Stephen Hawking discovered that Black Holes evaporate and eventually disappear. Does this mean that particles are moving faster than the speed of light?

Seasteading & Artificial Islands Could the future of humanity be at sea? Our seas and oceans have long been central to human civilization, while at the same time we built dikes and islands to reclaim land. As technology improves, we may see even more ambitious efforts in the future. In the...

I believe that we will in our lifetime confirm the existence of other life in our Universe. Are these repeated pattern radio bursts signals from another intelligent species? Who knows, but the idea is exciting...

A team in China has demonstrated that it has the world’s most powerful quantum computer, leapfrogging the previous record holder, Google. Jian-Wei Pan at the University of Science and Technology of China in Hefei and his colleagues say their quantum computer has solved a problem in just over an...
