Giant atoms. The same as small atoms…
Scientists have proposed a new theory that combines some of the most mysterious phenomena in the Universe - black holes, gravitational waves, and axions - to solve one of the most confounding problems in modern physics. And it's got experts in the field very excited. The theory, which imagines a Universe filled with colossal 'gravitational…

New gravity: There is no gravity! (as we know it) Focusing on the phenomena. The problem of modern science.
A controversial new hypothesis that suggests our understanding of gravity is wrong has just passed an important first test. First proposed back in 2010, the new hypothesis states that gravity might behave and arise very differently than Einstein predicted, and an independent study of more than 30,000 galaxies has now found the first evidence to…

Observe. Choose. Religion. Science.
We’ve received a birth announcement from 20 million light years away, in the form of our first ever glimpse of what seems to be the birth of a black hole. When massive stars run out of fuel, they die in a huge explosion, shooting out high-speed jets of matter and radiation. What’s left behind collapses…

Saturn rings. Predicting models. And the (philosophical) uselessness of science. [Predicting models: An autoanaphorical lie]
Why do Saturn's rings look like that? New research from the University of Leicester finally confirms why the planet's iconic rings look the way they do -- and the answer might allow us to make predictions about other planetary rings in the universe. Saturn's rings are made of chunks of ice and rock that range…
