Warp Drive May Be More Feasible Than Thought
A warp drive to achieve faster-than-light travel — a concept popularized in television’s Star Trek — may not be as unrealistic as once thought, scientists say. A warp drive would manipulate space-time itself to move a starship, taking advantage of a loophole in the laws of physics that prevent anything from moving faster than light….
Universalism and Particularism: Judaism in an Age of Science
ByEditorA review of Norbert M. Samuelson, Jewish Faith and Modern Science: On the Death and Rebirth of Jewish Philosophy (New York: Rowman & Littlefield, 2009.) Modern Jews are torn between the particularist teachings of their religious tradition and the universalist aspirations of science (or maybe they should be more so). Of course, other religious traditions…
Planetary Science: The Time Machine
Dating features on the Moon and Mars is guesswork. Scott Anderson is building a tool to change that.
Fear Can Be Erased From the Brain
Scientists are one step closer to understanding how to erase painful fear memories by successfully erasing them in a small group of people, according to a study published in the journal Science. The intervention requires no drug, acting through behavioral intervention alone. The new report follows a series of studies in which researchers have made…
Looking at Quantum Gravity in a Mirror
Einstein’s theory of gravity and quantum physics are expected to merge at the Planck-scale of extremely high energies and on very short distances. At this scale, new phenomena could arise. However, the Planck-scale is so remote from current experimental capabilities that tests of quantum gravity are widely believed to be nearly impossible. Now an international…
Newborn Star Study Reveals Never-Before-Seen Stage of Planet Birth
Astronomers studying a newborn star have caught a detailed glimpse of planets forming around it, revealing a never-before seen stage of planetary evolution. Large gas giant planets appear to be clearing a gap in the disk of material surrounding the star, and using gravity to channel material across the gap to the interior, helping the…
