homeopathic physics abuse, take two

It really seems homeopaths don't understand basic middle school physics and are hoping you don't either in the asinine pitches for their snake oil.

strange matter, doomsday and you

A supercollider-induced doomsday has been cancelled for the same reason as the previous one, and the one before that.

and now for something completely ridiculous

If you've ever entertained the thought of going to a homeopathic doctor, just consider the asinine things they're taught before making your decision.

in space, no one can hear you nuke

The Soviet Union wanted to detonate a nuclear warhead on the Moon as a show of force. But without an atmosphere and 238,900 miles away, what would that look like?

collapsing the waveform on quantum physics

Roger Penrose is in no mood for exotic theories. In fact, he thinks its latest papers should be junked.

supercollider? i just met her!

Scientists are already talking about the next generation of colliders which will smash matter and antimatter particles on a regular basis.

a billion solar masses of nothing

Black holes are often described as tears in space and time. But that's not what they really are. What they really are is so much stranger...

more bad news for warp drive technology

Theoretical warp drives keep finding more ways to kill their users and everything around them. This time, with artificial black holes.

caution, warp drive may damage planet

Warp drives might not just be the fastest way to explore the universe. They might also be weapons of mass destruction on a stellar scale.

when national geographic imitates the onion

Quantum physics are weird, but they're probably not fill-the-universe-with-galaxy-group-sized-subatomic-particles weird...

what does it take to get a warp drive?

Warp drives will work by creating a bubble of twisted space. But the physics of that bubble get very complicated very quickly.

the anthropic principle takes another hit

A new paper shows that far from requiring precise physics to exist, matter as we know it can form within a relatively wide range of tolerances.

and with a lot of false bravado…

A quick dive into a brick wall of stupidity... err... the backwards logic of Ray Comfort.
