There’s an invisible line between two groups of islands in the Indian Ocean with two totally different animal populations. It took three branches of science to figure out why it exists.

SUMMARY

"Facts" that are not quite correct: 1) There is no gravity in space 2) Nothing can go faster than the speed of light. 3) Bees shouldn’t be able to fly according to physics. I will explain this using Physics 4)...

The catastrophic effects of the ‘Lunar Nodal Cycle’.

Many Worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics proposes that every time a quantum event gets decided, the universe splits so that every possible outcome really does occur. But where exactly are those worlds, and can we ever see them?

Why is it that we can see these multiple histories play out on the quantum scale, and why do lose sight of them on our macroscopic scale? Many physicists believe that the answer lies in a process known as quantum decoherence.

What is geomatics? Why it's the branch of science that deals with the collection, analysis, and interpretation of data relating to the earth's surface. How is it done? Well we've got Nigel here to tell us all about it! You may know about...
