There are reasons why we may never find intelligent life elsewhere in the Universe even though it may exist. Here’s why.

Cosmological mysteries are numerous, incredible in size, and the possible explanations for them are just as bountiful. Let's explore the supervoid, one of those mysteries, and see what it could be...

Involving many principles of science, this particular paradox follows a consequence of black hole mechanics and has far-reaching implications, no matter what the solution is.

What started as a simple thought experiment grew to be so much more...

This is only theory and not based on applied physics. I discuss this for the sake of expanding scientific thought on the subject of time.

Galileo not only spotted new objects in the sky but also laid the groundwork for advancements in physics. What were they?

Students have an excellent chance of doing well on a physics exam if they work efficiently throughout the physics course and follow some tips for writing exams.

Do you believe that time exist, or do you believe that it is an idea in our minds?

While we don't know if they exist, the physics of tachyons would bring much excitement to science. But what are they?

The standard model of particle physics describes the underlying building blocks that make up our universe. Here is a beginners overview of its components and what it leaves unexplained.

TRIUMF is a facility for research in particle physics and accelerator-based science. It contains the largest cyclotron in the world and produces medical isotopes.

This is a review of the concept of "nothing" to help understand the absence of physical particles in the universe.

Water has some properties that can make it a good refrigerant. It also possesses some undesirable properties that makes its application as a refrigerant very challenging and inefficient to implement.
