It is very easy for us to forget that since 2012, mankind has been driving around a nuclear-powered vehicle about the size of an ordinary SUV on Mars. This amazing feat of engineering is known as NASA’s Mars rover Curiosity, and has completely revolutionized our knowledge about the red planet. …

Trying to determine the difference between dark matter and dark energy is very tricky to scientists because they have no way of knowing if they are simply manifestations of the very same phenomena. Scientists know that both dark matter and dark energy must exist in order to account for certain …

Everyone knows what a successful scientist Albert Einstein was, and how his visions and ideas have literally reshaped the way we perceive the universe. In fact, much of his influence has affected the way we think on a daily basis in our culture. However, for all his amazing achievement and …

So much for the Big Bang theory – here is a theory that wonders if our solar system formed inside a giant space bubble. We all know that there are several theories out there about the way our solar system came to be in existence. And there is no doubt …

What CERN scientists are claiming from one of their most recent is that the universe itself is nothing short of a miracle, because it really shouldn’t even exist. This claim is based on the Big Bang theory. Even though this theory is the most prevailing, it is not the lone theory that explains …

In our quest to fully understand the way in which our Universe works, we are going to require a whole lot various measurements, but the problem has always been that this measuring we need is very difficult. For instance, how in the world can a scientist ever measure something invisible as …

New research has indicated that even a tiny slowdown in the rotation of the Earth next year could very trigger several more major earthquakes than normal. Previous incidents of slowing rotation over the past 100 years have correlated with above average earthquake activity, according to brand new research that was …

Quarks are those tiny particles that make up every little thing that exists in the universal. And they still remain a deep mystery to physicists – even after 53 years when scientists first suspected that they exist. These little guys bounce around the edges of the accuracy levels of the …

It is certainly not a secret that we have a galaxy that contains alien worlds — but this does not mean that there are not any surprises lurking in the dark. For instance, there is a planet that was recently discovered. And this is massive planet that orbiting a very …
