When you look at your surrounding environment, it might seem like you’re living on a flat plane. After all, this is why you ...

In a hypertorus model of the Universe, motion in a straight line will return you to your original location, even in an uncurved (flat) spacetime. This multiply connected topology might be able to be ...

Dark energy, making up 70% of the universe, causes its accelerating expansion. Gravitational waves, predicted by Einstein, were detected from colliding black holes. The Event Horizon Telescope imaged ...

If you believe the Mathematical Universe Hypothesis then yes. And so are you. Quantum phenomena have no subjective qualities and have questionable physicality. They seem to be completely describable ...

The human connectome is the network of links between different parts of the brain. These links are mapped out by the brain’s white matter—bundles of nerve cell projections called axons that connect ...

Most organic molecules have a mirror-image twin. This concept is known as chirality. Yet life only uses one chiral molecule, not the other. The reason for this asymmetry is one of the greatest ...

When you look at your surrounding environment, it might seem like you're living on a flat plane. After all, this is why you can navigate a new city using a map: a flat piece of paper that represents ...
