"Strange is our situation here upon earth. Each of us comes for a short visit, not knowing why, yet sometimes seeming to a divine purpose. From the standpoint of daily life, however, there is one thing we do know: That we are here for the sake of other men —above all for those

I have cradled you for thousands of years - through roaring storms and golden dawns, I’ve given you mountains to climb, oceans to swim, and forests that once whispered in endless tongues. I’ve nurtured every living being, from the smallest ant to the soaring eagle, and held your

"I was interested in truth from the point of view of salvation just as much as in truth from the point of view of scientific certainty. It appeared to me that there were two paths to truth, and I decided to follow both of them." — Georges Lemaître As explained in an interview

In the late 1930s, Oppenheimer turned his focus to astrophysics, co-authoring papers that predicted neutron stars. In 1939, he went further—showing that some would collapse endlessly. It was the first mathematical prediction of black holes. #BlackHole

Somewhere in another universe.. You made a different choice. Loved someone else. Took a risk. Became someone entirely new. The multiverse isn’t just science fiction. It’s math, it’s quantum theory, it’s possible.

"I have a friend who's an artist and has sometimes taken a view which I don't agree with very well. He'll hold up a flower and say "look how beautiful it is," and I'll agree. Then he says "I as an artist can see how beautiful this is but you as a scientist take this all apart and

"Plants harvest sunlight, converting solar into chemical energy. We and the other animals are parasites on the plants. So, we are, all of us solar-powered. The evolution of life is driven by mutations. They are caused partly by natural radioactivity and cosmic rays, but they are

"There may not be any locations anywhere in the universe that are more subtly and delicately organized than human brains." - Julian Barbour

Stephen Hawking showed black holes aren't truly black. Quantum fluctuations at the event horizon let particle-antiparticle pairs form — one falls in, the other escapes as Hawking radiation. Over time, this radiation causes the black hole to lose mass and eventually evaporate.

The long-held belief that the Milky Way and Andromeda will collide in ~5 billion years is being challenged. A new study says there's a ~50% chance they won’t collide at all! Using precise data from Gaia and Hubble, researchers modeled galaxy motions & found that other Local

"The entity we perceive as empty space is a multilayered, multicolored superconductor. What an amazing, astonishing, beautiful, breathtaking concept. Extraordinary, too." - Frank Wilczek

"What I have done is to show that it is possible for the way the universe began to be determined by the laws of science. In that case, it would not be necessary to appeal to God to decide how the universe began. This doesn't prove that there is no God, only that God is not

Today, July 4, marks 13 years since the groundbreaking discovery of the Higgs boson — the long-sought particle responsible for giving mass to all elementary particles. This elusive particle was the final missing component of the Standard Model of particle physics, our most

“Books permit us to voyage through time, to tap the wisdom of our ancestors. The library connects us with the insight and knowledge, painfully extracted from Nature, of the greatest minds that ever were, with the best teachers, drawn from the entire planet and from all our

From lunar orbit, Earth appeared fragile and alone - a seamless, borderless world. The photograph inspired a fresh awareness of humanity’s place in the cosmos and underscored the need for collective solutions to global environmental challenges.
