Has a surfer discovered a theory of EVERYTHING???

For decades physicists have tried to link the four basic forces into one seamless "theory of everything." Relativity and String Theory have moved our understanding closer to this. But Garrett Lisi, a physicist--and surfer--believes he may have one more piece of the puzzle. Read here for more.

Global warming???

The debate about global warming is still just that. Last month we learned that the Australians completed a 30 year study of the west side of Antarctica and found the ice GROWING, not receding!?! Now, the Argentinians report glacial growth as well!

Recent data seems to suggest the Earth has COOLED since 1998!?! Click here for info.

Giant black holes!

If you thought black holes were huge, they just got bigger! The mass of a giant black hole at the center of galaxy M87 has been recalculated to be 6.5 billion times the mass of the sun! For more info, look here and here.

School's out...

Well, school is out for the summer, but that doesn't mean that your scientific investigations should end.  I suggest you choose a topic that interested you in science class (global warming, green energy sources, auto safety technology, quasars, etc...) and do some research over the summer.  Feel free to post your findings here.

Betelgeuse is shrinking!?!

Astronomers believe that Betelgeuse is shrinking. This could mean that it is about to supernova (explode). In the 1800's there was a supernova recorded that was so bright that it was visible in broad daylight for 3 days! For more information, click here.
