DESI’s complete galaxy map suggests dark energy may be weakening, contradicting 25 years of cosmological assumptions. If the signal holds up in the full five-year dataset now in hand, it would represent the most significant discovery in cosmology since dark energy itself was identified in the late 1990s — and force a fundamental rewrite of […]

There’s a specific kind of person whose story I’ve heard enough times now that I could almost finish it before they start telling it. They grew up in a home that was fine on the surface. Food on the table. Nobody hit anyone. The basics were covered. But affection was thin, or absent, or performed […]

Now that the Artemis 2 mission has been successfully completed, it’s worth taking a look at where NASA stands on the role of humans in exploring space and what its path forward should be.

Beijing is not simply preparing for a summit. It is constructing something more deliberate: a multi-front leverage architecture — a coordinated system of diplomatic, economic, and security pressures, synchronized across three continents, designed to ensure that when President Donald Trump arrives in China next month, the terms of negotiation have already been shaped in Beijing’s […]
