Time is a gentleman - it waits patiently. And in physics, as in all exact sciences, problems and mysteries eventually get resolved, if we give it enough time. That is how science works, after all: the consensus on our explanation of reality changes as we acquire more information on the latter.>
As every Boy Scout knows, friction generates heat. A new study finds that friction could be the key to survival for some distant Earth-sized planets traveling in dangerous orbits.
Earth-sized planets are becoming common in other star systems. Too close to a star, and heat can be a destructive force but for planets>
As the developed world becomes more removed from science and health, it is easier to embrace beliefs that science and medicine are not needed at all, with some claiming that vaccines and pesticides are not really needed, the natural world can do it without modern tools.Companies will cater to that also. If enough>
An old adage goes that 'if life gives you lemons, make lemonade', which basically means turn something negative into something positive. Pollution is bad but a new study shows that it may some day be a net win for energy.>
In the alchemical days of building your own circuit boards, you had to swirl hand-masked boards in noxious chemicals to burn away the layers you needed. Now, you can just pay by the inch. It's a glorious time for using home-designed printed circuit boards (PCBs).>
Research into the development of invisibility devices has spurred two physicists’ thought on the behaviour of light to overcome the seemingly intractable problem of optical singularities which could soon lead to the manufacturing of a perfect cat’s eye.A research paper published in a New Journal of Physics’>
Isn't this a dangerous inversion of how science is supposed to be done? What's to prevent this same scenario playing out for ANY potential discovery coming from a precision measurement...
Thank you for this, IrishNeanderthal. Actually I believe what’s going on in America is under-hyped. The mainstream press is far too easy on Mr. Trump, who is convicted of multiple felonies and...
Interesting take on political diversity and how narratives shape perception. It’s always refreshing to explore different viewpoints. After diving into heavy topics like this, I like to decompress...
I don’t know how accurate this description is. If I had the time, I could maybe subscribe to Ground News for checking on the reportage. However, if you think the situation in the USA is...
