The study of how our universe began is inherently problematic. Unfortunately, we are as unable to peer directly into the past as we are into the future. To tell us about the past, all we have to rely on is our memory and the physical evidence the past has left behind. The origin of the [...]

Our society’s quest for new sources of energy is relentless. Literally no stone has been left unturned in our search for fossil fuels. The reasons for this are simple and straight-forward; within the last 100 years the energy demands of our economy have skyrocketed. North America has been especially thirsty for oil as our massive [...]

Technological advances within the last century have been astounding. We’ve moved from horse-drawn wagons to self-driving cars in the blink of an eye; geologically speaking. New ideas and inventions have sprung up that were unimaginable before, and many have made the transition from science fiction to science fact. One of the most common themes, and [...]

If you’ve been paying attention to the news recently, chances are you’ve heard the term “Higgs Boson.” Chances are, unless you are a nuclear physicist, that you also have very little idea of what it is. The Higgs Boson is a subatomic particle, the existence of which was theorized by Peter Higgs and other researchers [...]

Nearly 16 years ago, the world marveled at the birth of the first cloned mammal: Dolly the sheep. While experiments with cloning technologies had been ongoing since the 1950′s, this was the first time a mammal had been successfully cloned using adult somatic cells. Previous cloning attempts made use of embryonic cells, which are not [...]

One of the simplest concepts to grasp in classical physics is the idea of causality. Our world-view is defined by cause-and-effect relationships from the day we are born. This is how we make sense of the world: every event has cause, which in turn has its own cause, etc, leading back all the way to [...]

Classical physics, while mathematically complex, is based on simple, common-sense principles that everyone is familiar with. On the other hand, quantum physics, the set of laws that describe reality on very small scales, seems to be the exact opposite. Particles smaller than an atom don’t behave like they should, and are incredibly difficult to research. [...]

Anatomically modern humans have been around for hundreds of thousands of years. Yet we did not begin intensive agriculture or city building until between 10,000-15,000 years ago. Prior to this time, humans lived in smaller, hunting-gathering bands that had to be self-sufficient, more or less. Traditionally, this lifestyle is seen as being “more in tune [...]
