Scientists Thought They Had Spotted Flowing Water on Mars. It Turned Out to Be Something Else Entirely.
Images sent back by NASA’s Viking spacecraft in the 1970s revealed some unusual streaks stretching across the arid landscapes of Mars.

The streaks — which, at times, were thousands of feet long — appeared much darker, contrasting against the… Continue reading Scientists Thought They Had Spotted Flowing Water on Mars.

Elon Musk’s AI Just Went There
Fresh off its “white genocide” freakout, Elon Musk’s Grok AI is now engaged in Holocaust denial.

Sometimes you try to get to outer space — but then the top of your rocket falls off. It happens. No, really: on Thursday, Australian startup Gilmour Space was forced to call off the maiden launch of its Eris rocket when, just hours before it was supposed to lift off, the nose cone that protects… Continue reading Australian Rocket Launch Thwarted by Premature Payload Ejection
Physicists Say We Were Completely Wrong About How Gravity Works
A theoretical proposal published in the journal Reports on Progress in Physics is making some bold claims about our previous understanding of quantum physics. Mainly, that we were wrong. The proposed theory grapples with the fact that quantum mechanics (basically modern physics) and general relativity (Einstein’s theory of gravity) both describe the universe perfectly, but… Continue reading Physicists Say We Were Completely Wrong About How Gravity Works
