Is Starlink Available in Your Area? The Map, the Hype, and the Quiet Revolution Over Your Head
How Elon Musk’s satellite internet rollout is quietly rewriting who gets to be “connected” The first time my internet died in the middle of a job interview, I was standing on a chair, router in one hand, phone in the other, praying the signal would come back.

The enigma of why a star went dark for months is solved by astronomers.
Typically, stars don't simply disappear. For millions or possibly billions of years, they emit a constant glow. At the end of 2024, scientists took notice when a star 3,200 light-years away from Earth abruptly faded.

10 Mind-Blowing Space Stories School Never Told You
For many of us (especially if you grew up watching Star Trek), space truly feels like the final frontier. Sure, school taught us about planets, gravity, and maybe a little about rockets. But what we got was just a glimpse of the safe, simplified version.

AI as a Reflective Surface
Much of the confusion surrounding artificial intelligence comes from treating it as an agent rather than a surface. When people speak about AI “doing the thinking,” “creating the ideas,” or “speaking for someone,” they are often projecting agency onto a system that does not possess intention, belief, or understanding. This projection obscures what is actually happening in many real-world uses. In those cases, AI is not acting as a source of meaning, but as a surface that reflects, redirects, and reshapes what is already present.

Ai Is Not the Villain
There is a growing anxiety surrounding artificial intelligence that feels both familiar and misplaced. Everywhere you look people are panicking about Ai “talking to itself,” replacing workers, making decisions humans shouldn’t relinquish, or eventually turning against us. The fear is louder than Skynet, theatrical, and often deeply emotional but when you listen closely; it becomes clear that much of this fear is not actually about Ai at all. It is about power, control, trust, and a long history of human systems failing the very people they were supposed to protect.

The concept of human reproduction in space is rapidly becoming a reality.
One uncomfortable subject is becoming more difficult to ignore as spaceflight transitions from infrequent government missions to something more akin to everyday travel and employment: what happens to human reproductive health when we are away from Earth?

Star Trek: "The Tholian Web"
The Tholian Web is one of those classic episodes of TOS that transcend television. The ghostly image of a Kirk (William Shatner) caught between dimensions, waiting breathlessly (at the end literally so) for the transporter to beam him back to the ship, while the Tholian ship weaves a “Web” around the Enterprise, stranded in space as it is due to the fear of “disrupting” the dimensional shift, is one that sticks with the viewer like a good, heady shot of Saurian brandy. Oh, with such bold and breathtaking adventure awaiting, what’s an old spacer to do?

The New Universe: When Humans Create Their Own Worlds
The New Universe: When Humans Create Their Own Worlds The Birth of Artificial Worlds By the 24th century, humanity had mastered the Solar System. The Moon, Mars, and distant colonies on Europa and Titan were thriving under the guidance of the Galactic Network. Yet even with all these achievements, a question remained. Why stop at exploring the universe when humans could begin to create their own?

Life in the Galactic Network: When Planets Connect Through AI
Life in the Galactic Network: When Planets Connect Through AI The Dawn of the Galactic Web The 22nd century began with humanity expanding beyond Mars. Colonies on the Moon and the Red Planet had already proven that life outside Earth was possible. But survival was not enough. Humanity wanted connection. When hundreds of thousands of people started living on different planets, communication became the next frontier. From this need was born the Galactic Network — a living web of artificial intelligence linking worlds together.

Dark matter may eventually be revealed via radio waves in the early universe.
The Universe was quiet long before the first stars formed. No galaxies. No illumination. Only huge expanses of hydrogen gas and dark matter, an enigmatic substance that shapes everything we see today.
