5 Simple Ways to Drop Your Dementia Risk WHILE THERE IS NO CURE FOR ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE, there are some lifestyle moves you can make that may lower your risk of developing the disease. We begin with this troubling statistic: Nearly six million individuals in the United States have Alzheimer’s dementia. That’s according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Is There An Earth-Like Planet In Alpha Centauri? Thanks to an upcoming telescope, we may soon find out Despite being ‘only’ four and a bit lightyears away, the Alpha Centauri star system remains a tantalising mystery. In theory, a habitable Earth-like exoplanet could exist around either of the binary stars, but the stars are too bright for our current telescopes to see these other worlds hidden…
Yes, the gold given to baby Jesus was made in a neutron star collision When three wise men gifted baby Jesus with gold, frankincense and myrrh, they had no idea one was made from colliding neutron stars. On a frosty winter’s night more than 2000 years ago, a young expectant mother found herself in a wooden manger as she…
Did Fermilab’s new result blow a hole in the Standard Model? Fermilab’s TeVatron just released the best mass measurement of the W-boson, ever. Here’s what doesn’t add up. In the entire history of science, no theory has been more successful, in terms of predictions matching the results of experiments and observations, than the Standard Model of…

Ask Ethan: Could “heavy light” be the missing dark matter? Our Universe requires dark matter in order to make sense of things, astrophysically. Could massive photons do the trick? When it comes to the Universe, there are some things we can be confident are out there based on what we observe. We know that the Universe was hotter, denser, and…

Time dilation is real, and your head ages faster than your feet The idea of “absolute time” was our default for millennia. But time is relative, as gravity and motion both cause time to dilate. There’s no such thing as absolute time. No matter where you are, how fast you’re moving, or how strong the gravitational field is around you…

The Cutting Edge Satellite Securing Our Future Eco tech has a major problem, but Fleet Space may have the perfect solution. For decades millions of engineers around the world have scratched their heads as they try to solve climate change and avert the impending disaster. Since then, we have started the electric vehicle revolution, built extensive solar farms and even developed…

Ask Ethan: Should Alpha Centauri be our first interstellar target? The closest star system to Earth, just over 4 light-years away, has three stars and at least one Earth-sized planet. Is it time to go there? Assuming humanity can survive the next few decades and centuries — and that’s a big assumption, given the threats of…

The Lack of Disorder Is One of the Greatest Mysteries of the Universe Science provides us with the illusion that it has explained a great deal. By describing the “creation” of the Universe in mathematical terms and models we have pushed the riddles further away from us, while the mysteries of the true origin is really just as unresolved. One can guess and speculate. Some cosmologists suggest that…
