Quantum theory has weird implications. Trying to explain them just makes things weirder.
Dreams are weird. According to a new theory, that's what makes them useful.
Can spacekime help us make headway on some of the most pernicious inconsistencies in physics?
A new model of the Antikythera mechanism reveals a "creation of genius."
How long should one wait until an idea like string theory, seductive as it may be, is deemed unrealistic?
What happens when simulation theory becomes more than a fascinating thought experiment?
Upstreamism advocate Rishi Manchanda calls us to understand health not as a "personal responsibility" but a "common good."
The controversy around the Torah codes gets a new life.
Ever since we've had the technology, we've looked to the stars in search of alien life. It's assumed that we're looking because we want to find other life in the universe, but what if we're looking to make sure there isn't any?
The Fermi paradox asks us where all the aliens are if the cosmos should be filled with them. The Dark Forest theory says we should pray we never find them.
Is the world actually flat? Let's ask someone who has some actual perspective on the subject... from space.

While relationships can damage us, they can also be a source for healing.
It's not that the brain is a quantum computer, but that we can use quantum theory to explain it.
Biologists debate adding a controversial new aspect to the understanding of evolution.
The ridiculousness of Hollywood science when it comes to memory loss.
The thinking behind Turing Machines and "universal systems," is being extended to build a new kind of physics. “Constructor Theory,” is being developed by David Deutsch and Chiara Marletto to better explain life. It even suggests why morality arose.
How the future of astronomy — and something we can’t even see — might open up the dark Universe. This post is written by Sabine Hossenfelder, a theoretical physicist specialized in quantum gravity & […]
Scientists work on it, it’s consistent with science, and it hopes to be the biggest scientific breakthrough of all. But it’s missing one key ingredient. “As of now, string theorists […]
If there is a quantum theory of gravity, is String Theory the only game in town? “I just think too many nice things have happened in string theory for it to […]
In Munich last week, physicists and philosophers debate what makes for a scientific theory. Surprisingly, no one agrees. This piece was written by Sabine Hossenfelder. Sabine is a theoretical physicist specialized […]
There’s a big, big difference between a “scientific” theory and all other types. It should make you more confident, not less. One of the most important things any expert hoping to […]
Looks like the inner planets formed *after* the gas giants moved to their current position, and Jupiter ejected a fifth giant, too! “The stars look the same from night to […]
If String Theory has nothing to do with reality, what are our options? “I just think too many nice things have happened in string theory for it to be all […]
Information Theory explicitly ignores meaning. Its focus on messages makes it uninformative about their effects. And limits the usefulness of its way of quantifying information.
Can the world’s most fantastic and speculative “theory of everything” candidate shed light on the Universe’s most invisible objects? “I just think too many nice things have happened in string […]
Memes are biological entities that perpetuate themselves through history by replicating and by competing in a Darwinian fashion.
