Exploring bleeding edge experiments, oddities, new and bizarre dicoveries, and fact-checking conspiracy theories since 2008. No question is out of bounds and no topic is too strange for a deep dive.

A group of physicists say that a multiverse, in which we're just one of many sibling universes, is an inevitable result of cosmic inflation.

Alcohol isn't just the cause of and answer to most of life's problems, it also tells us something fundamental about the nature of all matter.

We're here for an exciting time, not a long time. And we should use that time doing something fun and constructive.

Quests for meaning don't fit into peer-reviewed science. That doesn't stop some from trying anyway.

A trio of physicists want to marry dark matter and antimatter. It's not a union that seems destined for bliss.
