24 Memes That Will Float Your Boat #Fun

It’s officially that time of year when boat owners won’t shut up about their boats. Every conversation suddenly turns into, “How choppy do you think the water’ll be today?” or “I’m thinking about sneaking out of work early, just a quick ride, you know?” You’ll start to hear the word “overcast” used as a reason to cancel all plans and “the launch ramp was insane today” as small talk. Welcome to Boat Season, where your friend who owns a boat will make sure you know they own a boat.

But let’s not romanticize it too hard. Trailing your boat to the water, struggling at the launch while strangers silently judge your reverse skills, and realizing you forgot the plug (again) is all part of the charm. Still, as long as the sun’s out, the lake is calling and “boat” becomes not just a noun, but a full summer personality. Here are 24 memes to float your boat.

Webb Finds Icy Disk

Webb has found crystalline water ice in a debris disk around a young, Sun-like star called HD 181327. Based on its presence in our own solar system, scientists have expected to see it in other star systems — but haven’t had sensitive enough instruments to provide definitive proof until now.

Are Light Pulses from the Nearest Habitable Exoplanet Natural or Artificial? #Paranormal

I received an email from Mia Holland, an editor of a German public broadcast outlet, which checks TikTok videos for their truthfulness and takes action against the spread of disinformation and fake news on social media. Mia stated: “I’m currently working on a TikTok video concerning the exoplanet Proxima b. In the video, it is said that light-glow from Proxima b appears to pulsate regularly and might therefore indicate a technological civilization. We know that Proxima b is in the habitable zone and that the planet is exposed to flares from its host star, Proxima Centauri. But whether the explanation…

Not Saying it’s Aliens: SETI Reveals Unexplained Pulses From Distant Star #Paranormal

More than sixty years ago, the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) officially began with Project Ozma at the Greenbank Observatory in West Bank, Virginia. Led by famed astronomer Frank Drake (who coined the Drake Equation), this survey used the observatory’s 25-meter (82-foot) dish to monitor Epsilon Eridani and Tau Ceti – two nearby Sun-like stars – between April and July of 1960. Since then, multiple surveys have been conducted at different wavelengths to search for indications of technological activity (aka. “technosignatures”) around other stars, writes universetoday.com. While no conclusive evidence has been found that indicates the presence of an advanced…

Cosmic Sandcastles: Humanity’s Fleeting Mark on the Universe #Paranormal

Everything we do here on Earth will be deleted from the cosmic record in a billion years, when the Sun will brighten and boil off all liquid water from the surface of our planet through a runaway greenhouse effect. The sturdiest structures we construct on the surface of Earth will constitute the tombstones of our civilization. This state of affairs should remind us of our personal life, where the notion of death affects what we choose to do in the limited time allotted to us. However, a cosmic time horizon of a billion years sounds so far away that we…

Congressional Briefing on UAP Science #Paranormal

On Thursday, May 1 at 11:30AM ET, I am scheduled to give a public presentation at a bipartisan U.S. congressional briefing on “Understanding Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP): Science, National Security & Innovation,” hosted by the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability and the Task Force on the Declassification and Federal Secrets — led by Rep. Anna Paulina Luna. The live-stream video will be available here. The brilliant musician, Marshall Beck, suggested to congresswomen Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla) that they take a photo with me in the middle, to illustrate that UAP interest is bipartisan. During my…

25+ Memes Getting Ready for Summer #Fun

We’re all beginning to feel it. The sun is beginning to shine a little brighter, the birds are chirping with more ferocity than they usually do. We’re making plans for the summer ahead and we’re getting excited for it. Maybe we’re buying some swimsuits and checking to see if our sandals are up to snuff. We’re planning beach days and requesting PTO. We’re cleaning off our grills and planning some summer barbecues. Nothing will quite compare, though, to the feeling of the last day of school when you’re a kid. I don’t think anything will compare to that as an adult. 

What comes close, though, is thinking about all the fun you’re going to have this summer. All the beach sandwiches you’re going to eat. All the times you won’t have to wear pants. All the times you’ll be peeling your sweaty thighs off of a lawn chair. Mmmm, yep.

Evidence of Alien Life? Biosignatures On Other Planets May Be Misleading #Paranormal

Whether or not we’re alone in the universe is one of the biggest questions in science. A recent study, led by astrophysicist Nikku Madhusudhan at the University of Cambridge, suggests the answer might be no. Based on observations from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope, the study points to alien life on K2-18b, a distant exoplanet 124 light years from Earth. The researchers found strong evidence of a chemical called dimethyl sulfide (DMS) in the planet’s atmosphere. On Earth, DMS is produced only by living organisms, so it appears to be a compelling sign of life, or “biosignature”. While the new…

Life Beyond Earth and Manipulation of Spacetime #Paranormal

In an interview last night, I was asked two scientific questions. First, there was the news report about the discovery of the `strongest evidence yet’ of life on a distant planet, K2–18b. I was asked: “If life is confirmed there, what would be the next step? Should we try to establish some sort of contact? Generally, do you think it is a good idea to reach out to extraterrestrials once we know where they are?” I explained that the new paper is based on the JWST detection of the spectral fingerprint of a single molecule, dimethyl sulfide, in the atmosphere…

Alien Dyson spheres may indeed exist, but under special conditions #Paranormal

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…

Did Proxima b’s Scientists Visit Earth Before the Pyramids? #Paranormal

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…

Astronomers have detected an atmosphere on an Earth-like planet #Paranormal

The rocky planet L 98-59 c orbits a red dwarf star 35 light-years away, considered close in cosmic terms. The planet is slightly larger than Earth and scientists believe it has an atmosphere. Scientists say L 98-59 c may be the first world smaller than twice the diameter of Earth to be positively found to have an atmosphere. The study was published in the Astronomical Journal. The star L 98-59, which is a red dwarf, meaning it is smaller than the Sun, is home to at least four confirmed planets that were discovered six years ago. Focus has already written…

Asteroid No Longer a Risk to Earth—But Could Strike Moon #Paranormal

The near-Earth asteroid 2024 YR4 was discovered in December 2024, and initial observations of its orbit suggested a potential impact with Earth in 2032. The impact probability rose from 1.2% to 2.3%, then to 2.6%, peaking at 3.1% on 18 February 2025, before dropping to nearly 0% by the end of February. To better assess the asteroid’s threat, NASA directed the James Webb Space Telescope toward YR4, revealing a new possibility—it might collide with Earth’s Moon instead. Key data from Webb revised the asteroid’s estimated size from 131-295 feet (40-90 meters) down to 174-220 feet (53-67 meters)—roughly the height of…

X-ray Clues Reveal Destroyed Planet

In about 5 billion years, our Sun will run out of fuel and expand, possibly engulfing Earth. These end stages of a star’s life can be utterly beautiful – as is the case with this planetary nebula called the Helix Nebula. Astronomers study these objects by looking at all kinds of light. This images show X-rays from NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory (magenta), optical light data from NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope (orange, light blue), infrared data from the European Southern Observatory VISTA telescope (gold, dark blue), and ultraviolet data from GALEX (purple) of the Helix Nebula.

Commemorating Past Civilizations in the Milky-Way #Paranormal

In about a billion years, the Sun is forecasted to brighten up and turn the Earth into a desert like Mars. Based on the star formation history of the Milky-Way galaxy, about half of the Sun-like stars formed more than a billion years before the Sun. If some of these suns hosted a habitable Earth-like planet, and life on that planet led to the emergence of an intelligent species more than a billion years ago, then this species must have suffered from a devastating astrophysical catastrophe by now. In that case, it would be appropriate for us, as cosmic citizens…

Whew! We’ve nearly made it through yet another brutal winter with one mission: to make us forget what warmth on our skin felt like. We’re not totally in the clear yet, but I believe we’ve finally surpassed “Fool’s spring” and successfully made it to the real deal. With the clocks springing forward an hour this weekend, we’ll have extra sunlight… can you believe that? I don’t remember what life was like when the sun set after 6 PM…

Even though we’ve made it to spring, we’re still in for lots of rain, lots of pollen, and LOTS of bugs coming back to stay with us for the summer. For those lucky enough to get a taste of all four seasons, you’re probably restless thinking about going outside in just a t-shirt and jeans. The warmth isn’t for everyone, but it’s safe to say we’ve all been missing some vitamin D. While you wait, stick around for some vitamin Meme.

Astronomers Discover Colossal 36-Billion-Solar-Mass Black Hole #Paranormal

Astronomers have uncovered a black hole of such immense size that comprehending its scale could trigger an existential crisis. This colossal black hole, measuring a staggering 36 billion times the mass of the Sun, stands as one of the largest ever observed, according to Live Science. For comparison, Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way, has a mass of only about one million times that of the Sun. Another contender, TON 618*, is estimated to be between 40 and 60 billion solar masses, located approximately 18.2 billion light-years from Earth. This newly discovered, yet-to-be-named…

Are We Living in a Computer Simulation? An Experimental Test #Paranormal

In anticipation for my next public lecture, the organizer requested the title of my lecture. I suggested: “Hunting for Aliens.” The organizer expressed concern that some members of the audience might confuse me for a U.S. government employee in search of illegal aliens near the southern border wall. I explained that no two-dimensional wall erected on Earth would protect us from extraterrestrials because they will arrive from above. It is just a matter of time until we notice interstellar travelers arriving without a proper visa. A policy of deporting them back to their home exoplanet will be expensive — over…

Dark Energy Illusion? Giant Voids May Explain Universe’s Expansion #Paranormal

It is currently believed that a mysterious dark energy is driving the accelerating expansion of the universe. But astrophysicists believe that dark energy does not actually exist, and that vast voids in space create the illusion that the cosmos is expanding at an accelerating rate under the influence of a mysterious force. The study, published in the journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, challenges the standard cosmological model of the evolution of the universe. Astrophysicists analyzed data on type Ia supernovae, whose constant brightness allows them to measure distances in the Universe with incredible accuracy. Type Ia supernovae…
