Dyson spheres—hypothetical mega-structures advanced civilizations might use to enclose a star and harness its energy—are catastrophically unstable. However, an engineer now claims a solution: using two stars. In the 1960s, physicist Freeman Dyson proposed that an advanced society could disassemble a planet to build a spherical shell around a star, capturing vast energy and living space. Dyson calculated that a shell made from a planet with the mass of Jupiter could completely enclose the sun at roughly the orbit of Earth. But gravity inside a hollow shell cancels out, meaning the star could crash into it, destroying the structure. In…

It is conceivable that the Earth-mass planet Proxima b, which lies in the habitable zone of the nearest star to the Sun, Proxima Centauri, hosts a civilization similar to ours. Owing to minor differences between their and our history, it is possible that they had reached our current technological state slightly in advance. Consider a tiny margin of head start for Proxima b science, of order 0.00002 of the age of the Earth. This amounts to 100,000 years, meaning that Proxima’s astronomers had used telescopes to discover Earth a hundred millennia ago, in the way that we discovered Proxima b…

For a long time, scientists thought space and time were completely separate things. In the 19th century, physicists imagined space as a 3D stage—like the length, width, and height of a room—while time was like a ticking clock, moving forward on its own. But then, Albert Einstein came along and said, “No, space and time are actually part of one big thing called space-time.” He described space-time as a 4D fabric that combines the three dimensions of space (length, width, height) with time as the fourth dimension. This idea has been the foundation of modern physics for over 100 years.…

Leading physicists are seriously considering the possibility that our universe may be a vast holographic projection. According to this radical theory, the three-dimensional reality we perceive—complete with planets, life forms, and galaxies—might actually be an illusion. Instead, everything we know could be encoded on a two-dimensional surface, like a cosmic projection. Professor Marika Taylor, a theoretical physicist at the University of Birmingham, explains that the conventional view of our universe as a three-dimensional structure may be incomplete. She suggests that reality as we experience it could instead be a hologram—a 3D projection of information stored on a 2D boundary, much…

Our everyday experience of the world feels solid and real, but what if it’s only a sliver of what’s truly out there? Neuroscientists Marjorie Woollacott and Marina Weiler, in their study “Neural Filters to Conscious Awareness and the Phenomena That Reduce Their Impact,” suggest that our brains act like radios, tuned to a specific frequency of reality. Built-in neural filters limit what we perceive, keeping us focused on a narrow slice of existence. Yet, under certain extraordinary conditions—like near-death experiences, deep meditation, or psychedelic journeys—these filters can weaken, potentially revealing a broader, more wondrous reality. What Are Neural Filters? Imagine…

Tony Milligan: There are many home-grown problems on Earth, but there’s still time to worry about bad things arriving from above. The most recent is the asteroid 2024 YR4, which could be a “city killer” if it hits a heavily populated area of our planet in the early years of the next decade. The chances of that happening are now estimated to be around 0.001%. But there was a brief moment after the asteroid’s discovery last year when the estimated danger of a direct hit crossed the 1% threshold of comfortable risk. There’s a need to worry about planetary defence…

The idea that our universe might be nothing more than a complex simulation has intrigued thinkers for centuries, moving from philosophical musings to scientific discourse. In recent years, the idea has gained momentum, with researchers exploring different ways to substantiate or disprove the simulation hypothesis. One such researcher is physicist Melvin Vopson, who introduced the “Second Law of Infodynamics.” This principle suggests that in systems containing information states, information entropy remains constant or decreases over time, in contrast to the Second Law of Thermodynamics, which states that physical entropy increases. Vopson’s work suggests that the universe’s tendency toward symmetry and…

Scientists behind a new theory about the Pyramids of Giza have defended their findings after being accused of spreading ‘fake news’ for claiming to discover an ‘underground city’ beneath the ancient necropolis. The world has been embroiled in controversy following a potentially revolutionary study by three Italian researchers—Professor Corrado Malanga (University of Pisa), Filippo Biondi (University of Strathclyde), and Egyptologist Armando Mei. Their research suggests the presence of ‘vertical cylinders’ 2,000 feet beneath the Khafre pyramid, along with ‘spiral staircases’ leading to hidden chambers and channels. They theorize these may indicate advanced ancient technology, such as an underground water system.…

Researchers have solved the mystery of the Bible’s most impressive miracle—we now know how Moses could actually part the sea, reports dailymail.co.uk. The moment Moses parted the Red Sea is a key moment in the history of both Christianity and Judaism, and one of the most impressive miracles of the Bible. But scientists now believe that Moses may have parted the Red Sea some 3,500 years ago, but there was nothing miraculous about it. The authors of the new study believe the answer may not lie in divine intervention at all, but in a combination of wild weather and lucky…

A study of 3,084 participants examined whether two types of paranormal belief—Traditional Paranormal Belief (TPB) and New Age Philosophy (NAP)—are associated with different levels of perceived stress. The results, published in PLOS ONE in the article “Re-evaluation of the relationship between paranormal belief and perceived stress using statistical modelling,” revealed that TPB was significantly linked to higher distress and lower coping capacity, while NAP showed no predictive association with stress. Paranormal beliefs, common in society, can influence behavior and attitudes, such as distrust of science and adherence to pseudoscientific ideas. Historically tied to maladaptive psychological processes, recent studies suggest these…

People perceive time as a one-way street, always moving from the past through the present to the future. However, a new study reveals that in the quantum world, time can flow both forward and backward. Physicists have studied the behavior of time within quantum systems using a set of equations, finding that these equations hold true whether time is moving forward or backward. The study, published in Scientific Reports, provides theoretical evidence of an unusual flow of time at the quantum level. Quantum physics suggests that time can run backwards due to the peculiar behaviors of particles at this scale,…

A new study suggests that the universe may not be expanding equally in all directions, challenging the cosmological principle. The basic tenet of modern cosmology is the cosmological principle. It states that no matter where you go in the universe, it will always be roughly the same. The cosmological principle states that the universe has no center and no preferred directions, especially when observed on large enough scales. In other words, no matter where you are or where you are, the universe appears to be uniform, and this is the basis of the standard cosmological model. However, a number of…

For centuries, the human mind has grappled with the nature of time. The ability to alter its flow, peer into the past, or glimpse the future has remained a tantalizing mystery. While mainstream physics holds that time is an unyielding force, moving steadily in one direction, some researchers have sought to challenge this notion. Among them was Nikolai Kozyrev, a Soviet astrophysicist whose controversial theories suggested that time might be more fluid than we assume. Kozyrev proposed that time was not just a passive dimension but an energy-like force interacting with matter and consciousness. Though dismissed by many of his…
