Black holes are probably the most fascinating (theoretical) objects in astronomy. Such objects, which scientists believe must exist, would account for the spin-rate of our galaxy, which cannot be explained by the combined mass of the visible stars. But exactly what are black holes?
A paper, "Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society in London," written as early as 1783 by John Michell, a Cambridge don, pointed out how a star which...
Can a theory of God be a legitimate scientific theory? If yes, why haven't scientists proposed it yet? Can something as mundane as bias, and not lack of empirical evidence, be at fault?
Probably one of the most dishonest and unrealistic arguments I've heard in support of our universe being billions of years old was by a scientist trying to refute the belief that the world came into existence approximately 6,000 years...
Is everything really explainable by science? Or does the human body show physical evidence of a Divine Origin?
The axiom a "whole is equal to the sum of its parts" holds true in physics and mathematics as well as biology. It seems so logical that one wonders why such an axiom even needs to be postulated. But is it really all that logical? There is a case in which the sum of an entity's parts do not seem to add up to...
For years scientists have been telling us how the universe began. Do we really know? Or do we need another fifteen billion years to figure it out?
To date, our space explorations, manned and unmanned, have uncovered a world of intriguing, perplexing, puzzling, fascinating, and even awe-inspiring phenomena. Whether we understand it or not, the universe we live in seems to be a highly organized system or set of smaller...
(March, 2008) The scientific concept of the origin of life on earth begins with the premise that life first appeared billions of years ago with the formation of microscopic organisms out of inanimate matter. In the billions of years which followed, small organisms evolved into higher and more complex forms of life through random mutations, and one species evolved into another.
Some microbes can live for more than half a million years by repairing their DNA—so if Mars ever harbored similar life forms in its wetter past, they...
