Why You Should Never Say "It's Just A Theory"
A portion of our culture distrusts the scientific method, assuming that there are transcendent truths unknowable by science. But nothing is truly out of bounds for science. If it's real, it can be studied, and tested. Perhaps the...

General Relativity: The Curvature of Spacetime
Relativity comes in different flavors, as it happens. We spent some time looking at special relativity, so now it's time for the general variety. This is all about the geometry of spacetime, which curves around massive objects. This was...

Evidence for Big Bang Cosmology
At the beginning of this series, we talked about the Big Bang, which was the beginning of our universe, and what happened in the early epochs thereafter. But what we didn't talk about was how we know all that stuff! What is the evidence...

The black hole death problem
Black holes are not as black as we once thought. They are theorized to die a slow death by evaporation, emitting energy known as Hawking radiation. But the mechanism for evaporation is not well understood. Then again, no one has ever...
