Scientists are sometimes asked if they do new experiments in the lab or if they just keep doing the same ones over and over again because they know what the results will be. Most scientists do the first, but scientific progress also
Geologists are trying to figure out what’s going on far below our feet, and it could help them understand the magnetic field that keeps life going far above our heads. As the inner parts of the Earth cool and harden, the solid
Scientists have made a new time-lapse model of how the universe has changed over billions of years. This model shows how the universe may have looked over that time. The simulation of the universe copies the big changes in the way the
The science fiction movie “Interstellar” has led to heated debates in online groups. In the movie, the main characters have to find a new home. They do this by going through wormholes from planet to planet until they reach the beautiful and
Two supermassive black holes in a galaxy 1 billion light-years away keep shortening the amount of time it takes for them to rotate around each other. Scientists think that they will join forces in the next three years. Scientists really want to
A huge ball of glowing gas has been found billions of light-years away. It is brighter than hundreds of billions of Suns. We can’t think of anything like that. Astronomers have a hard time describing this object because it shines so brightly.
