Running into an alien on the bus would be strange — but it's almost equally strange that humankind has never encountered aliens. The universe is vast. Can we really be alone in it? (Cue "X-Files" theme song.) The Fermi Paradox Think about it: What are the chances that life on Earth is …
Summer of 1943. In the midst of World War II, an American battleship tested a technology designed by Einstein himself and managed to become invisible and teleport. That is, at least, what some conspiracy theorists say. This is the true story of the USS Elridge, the ship that “traveled in …

The quantity of organic molecules discovered on Mars is not entirely explained by the hypothesis of cosmic dust: here is a new study. Asteroids and comets may have played a more important role than what was thought to supply Mars with organic molecules (the basics of life).
