If you still picture memory as a dusty filing cabinet in your brain, science is about to blow that image apart. Over the last few years, researchers have discovered that memory is less like a static archive and more like a living, constantly edited Google doc that your brain keeps rewriting. Some of the ...
There’s something quietly powerful about the way an anxious mind settles when a cat curls up on your lap, or how your mood lifts when a dog’s tail starts wagging just because you walked into the room. These tiny, ordinary moments with animals can feel almost magical, but they’re not magic at all – ...
Every once in a while, science drops a result that makes you sit up a little straighter and think, “Wait… have we been wrong this whole time?” That’s exactly the kind of tremor running through physics right now, as new work on how galaxies move and cluster is nudging at something almost sacred: our ...
Every time astronomers think they’ve got the universe figured out, the cosmos seems to smirk and toss in a plot twist. Over just the past few years, new telescopes and instruments have revealed galaxies that are too massive, black holes that grew too fast, and structures that seem too big to comfortably fit inside ...
Picture this: for more than two decades, modern cosmology has treated dark energy like an invisible cosmic engine, silently pushing galaxies apart. We cannot see it, cannot touch it, but we have been told it makes up most of the universe. Now imagine being told that maybe this mysterious force is not needed at ...
Every rock is a memory stick of the planet, and some of those memories simply refuse to make sense. We can split atoms, land rovers on Mars, and map the ocean floor from space, yet Earth’s deep past still hides stories that slip through our fingers like sand. Some of the strangest puzzles are ...
If you’ve spent any time on the internet, you’ve probably seen wild claims that the Anunnaki were ancient space gods who engineered humanity as a slave race. It sounds thrilling, like a mash-up of mythology and sci‑fi, and it spreads fast because it taps straight into our love of secrets and forbidden knowledge. But ...
Some years feel like you’re pushing a boulder uphill; others feel like the wind finally shifts behind your back. Astrologically, 2026 looks like that long-awaited tailwind for a handful of signs, thanks to major shifts involving Jupiter, Saturn, and Uranus that ease pressure and open new paths. If the last few years felt heavy, ...
When most stars die, they go out with a bang — exploding in brilliant supernovae that scatter heavy elements across space and light up the cosmos. But astronomers have identified a less violent end for certain stars, where they instead fizz out in complex, filament-laden outflows powered by dense winds. These “failed explosions” offer scientists ...
For centuries, Neanderthals have been cast as brutish Ice Age relatives of Homo sapiens, but the discoveries of 2025 continue to overturn old stereotypes while revealing surprising new facets of their lives. From evidence of advanced behaviors and survival strategies to biological differences that may have influenced their fate, this year’s research is painting a ...
