There are countless number of theories that aims to explain the Fermi paradox, which simply states the contradiction of a high probability that there are alien civilizations out there due to how vast the universe is, and the lack of any observable evidence we have of them. However, the “Dark Forest Hypothesis” might be the … Read more

Have you ever wondered whether aliens are real or not? Well, most scientists think they exist, so the question they focus on is, why have we not met any of them yet? For a universe so big, it also feels so empty. However, the fact that we are here could mean there are also others … Read more

Did you know that the moon has already started drifting farther away from Earth? It is moving at a rate of 1.5 inches (3.8 centimeters) every year.

It may be an unsettling topic, but scientists have explored what would happen to a human body on Mars. This is an important discussion, especially if humanity were to conquer Mars someday and create civilizations on this planet. Although it is rocky like Earth, they are fundamentally different in how they decompose organic matter. Mars … Read more

Did you know that there is a theory about the shape of the universe that suggests it might resemble a giant donut? That’s a real idea in science called a 3‑torus topology. It is a concept that theorizes the universe is looped all around, but still flat in a geometrical sense. In other words, scientists … Read more

It is easy to dismiss the idea that the Earth is flat, but did you know that cosmologists also refer to our universe as possibly flat? However, this describes a specific geometric calculation and does not mean that the universe is flat, as in pancake-shaped. This is a theory associated with Alan Guth and others, developed … Read more

Scientists believe that the universe is expanding, but this statement has created confusion among the public. Because if the universe is really expanding, then what exactly is it expanding into? If the space encompasses all that exists, and the definition of the universe is everything, how does its expansion even work? The simple answer is … Read more
