The Holographic Universe Principle
The Holographic Universe Principle
The holographic universe principle suggests that we're living in a simulated reality. Essentially, it claims our physical world is nothing more than a detailed illusion, and while this is unlikely, the idea does have some interesting science supporting it.

The 500-million-year-old reason behind the unique scent of rain
The 500-million-year-old reason behind the unique scent of rain
New research from an international team of scientists is suggesting that instantly recognizable earthy smell after rain is released by bacteria trying to attract a particular arthropod as a way to spread its spores.

The Moon's Two Sides Look So Different Thanks To 4.5 Billion-Year-Old Physics
The Moon's Two Sides Look So Different Thanks To 4.5 Billion-Year-Old Physics
If you’ve ever looked up at the brightest and closest celestial object in the night sky, our Moon, you’ve probably noticed how different some parts of it appear to be from others. And if you’ve ever taken a look at it through a telescope, especially if it’s not in its full phase, you’ve very likely n

Physicists Claim Universe 'Rings' Like Crystal Glass - Forbes
Not unlike the fading tones of a ringing crystal goblet, the spacetime continuum andthe universe itself may be oscillating through billions of years of cosmic time, say two U.S. physicists. In a paper recently published in The Astronomical Journal, physicists Harry Ringermacher and Lawrence Mead at the University of Southern Mississippi [...]

'Zeno effect' verified—atoms won't move while you watch
One of the oddest predictions of quantum theory – that a system can't change while you're watching it – has been confirmed in an experiment by Cornell physicists. Their work opens the door to a fundamentally new method to control and manipulate the quantum states of atoms and could lead to new kinds of sensors.
