We cannot continue letting billionaires keep the world's money while the poorest suffer Since 2000, the richest 1% of the world's population has taken 41% of all new wealth. The poorest half of the world has received only 1%.

Since 2000, the richest 1% of the world's population has taken 41% of new wealth, the poorest half has received only 1%.

Rich buy political parties, media, means of production, cause corruption, climate crisis, make mockery of democracy. Poor die early.

How to understand Einstein's relativity without math Times dilate and lengths contract near the speed of light. Bizarre and confusing? Sure. But under relativity, it can't be any other way.

How to understand Einstein’s relativity without math

Relativity is so much more than just the math of the Lorentz transformations.

It's a profound new way of looking at the world: one that you can learn to intuit for yourself.

Building wet planets through high-pressure magma–hydrogen reactions - Nature Experimental evidence shows that hydrogen–silicate reactions can generate abundant water in sub-Neptunes, suggesting hydrogen-rich planets have the potential to reach water-rich compositions.

Neutrinos are still the most mysterious particle we know of Nearly 100 years after being theorized, the strange behavior of the neutrino still mystifies us. They could be even stranger than we know.

Neutrinos are still the most mysterious particle we know of

Everyone overlooks the neutrino as an afterthought in our Universe.

But they're the only Standard Model particle with a shot to solve the dark matter, dark energy, and baryogenesis puzzles.

We still don't know how "hot" the hot Big Bang was We've long known we can't go back to infinite temperatures and densities. But the hottest part of the hot Big Bang remains a cosmic mystery.

We still don’t know how “hot” the hot Big Bang was

The earliest stages of the hot Big Bang were far hotter than any conditions that exist in the Universe today.

But things weren't arbitrarily hot; here's what we do (and don't) know today.
