# space
Antimatter will need to be the fuel of the future if we want technology like relativistic spaceships and black hole reactors.
# science
Having the public vote on what science gets funded and why to fix the issues with how grants are given out is an idea only a politician could love and would be disastrous in practice.
# tech
Would human-robot relationships really take off when machines are smart enough?
# education
We're ignoring the fact that the professors who teach future generations are in deep financial holes and can't seem to get out.
# science
There's nothing quite like creationism mixed with a heavy dose of woo in which anything you dream of can come true because quantum.
# science
Pseudoscience on the left may not be as dangerous or pervasive as on the right. But it's still there and still a major problem.
# evolution

# education
It's one thing when a digital mob goes after you when you do something worthy of criticism. But what happens if it descends on you for succeeding?
# tech
The jobs tech execs are thinking would be gained through monetized crowdsourcing don't seem like the kind of sustainable jobs we'll need in the future.
# politics
Would a draft really discourage more Americans from supporting wars abroad?
# tech
North Korea's computer-based insult towards South Korea's head of state was supposed to be meaningless but offensive nonsense. Too bad pop sci writers took the bait and tried to explain it anyway.
# science
A new experiment shows that the quantum world obeys causality only begrudgingly, and sometimes, not at all...
# space
Space entrepreneurs are excited about the promise of asteroid mining. But there are a lot of big, complicated questions they'll have to answer before we know if they can ever make a profit from it.
# sex
For what it's worth, America is far from the only country where sex and sexual health aren't treated with the cultural and political equivalent of schizophrenia.
# science
Don't worry about retractions or bad papers being discovered by scientists trying to build on and replicate each other's work. That's exactly how science advances.
