World builders often have startling capacities for imagination. Yes, you need to think hard to, say, design realistic geography for a planet, or create a new language, but even so, we have biases arising from our own experiences. In some ways — small ones, perhaps — we…
Truth is a funny thing. It is hotly debated through politics, religion, and even the halls of academia. But when push comes to shove, how do most people decide which truth to accept as their own?

Genetic Algorithms are possibly the most simplest to implement method of machine learning, which is a tactic used in programming to essentially make the machine learn how to program itself; at very least in the specific data and finding the most efficient way to go about a task. Over time, a…
“Is Time Travel Possible According To Science?” (Ethan Siegel; May, ‘17)
I’m a few months late in responding to this post, and I’ve challenged Ethan’s assumptions elsewhere about the reification of time as a “timescape” through which one might travel. But this is his most direct post about time travel and no one has…
From medal-winning athletic gear to your everyday ski boot, a lot of high-tech engineering goes into the materials used to make winter sports equipment. Guess which molecules help you enjoy the snowy slopes with ever increasing comfort and security?

Just trying to get you to think outside of the box about how unsuccessful any attempt to control an end user item is. Just a few examples I can think of: Prohibition, War on Drugs (there is a success story for you) Afghanistan banned Ammonium Nitrate fertilizer to halt IED production in 2010 ( you can check the news on this one and Afghan Farmer’s…

The emergence of quantum computers threatens the foundation of cryptography. In the future, quantum computing may break the existing ECDSA signature scheme in Bitcoin. Hcash introduces an updated version of BLISS, a lattice-based signature scheme that provides the smallest key…
“A fundamental building block of diverse biological life is high-fidelity replication. The fundamental unit of replication seems to be the DNA molecule, which provides a blueprint for the offspring to be built from physical building…
We don’t ever deeply understand how our life depends on the survival of microorganisms, that have such a key role in the balances that rule the biosphere on Earth.We’re inevitably so focused on the daily troubles, fears, anxieties, spites…that too often we have a blurry vision of which are the crucial challenges that the entire humanity are tackling…
As we accelerate toward a future of integrated biotechnology, virtual reality and artificial…
How did the #moon come into existence?The widely believed hypothesis among the scientific communities is that the planet Earth’s only natural satellite, 'Moon’, was a resultant…
It seems that science is on the brink — the moments of stagnation are followed by a boom of discovery. We are currently living at that exciting moment when we are at the end of the stalemate and the next major leap is…
