In recent years, astronomers have been puzzled by formidable mystery. Galaxies don’t appear to have enough raw material within them to form new stars at the rate they do. The Milky Way, for example,  turns about one solar mass’ worth of …

According to standard cosmology theory, Lithium, together with hydrogen and helium, is one of three elements to have been synthesized in the Big Bang. Therefore, we should see a uniform abundance of Lithium throughout the universe. However, we don’t. By experimental observation, the older stars seem to …

It may be hard to believe that the cause of gravity continues to remain one of the great mysteries of science, even to this day. This article will briefly explore our understanding of gravity. We are all familiar with the …

Is it possible to prove or disprove the existence of God using the natural sciences? This article will examine the evidence, not to prove or disprove God exists, but to address whether it is possible to prove or disprove God exists. …

At the begging of the Twentieth Century, almost every scientist believed the universe was eternal. That is to say, the universe always was and always will be—it is static. In the context of an eternal universe, questions about a beginning …

Few topics in science capture the imagination like time travel. Science fiction, like H. G. Wells’ classic novel, The Time Machine, published in 1895, and science fact, like time dilation, continues to fuel interest in time travel. Let us start …

Is dark energy real or simply a ghost story? Unfortunately, the phenomena we call dark energy is both real and scary. If it plays out on its current course, we are going to be alone, all alone. The billions upon …

In my last post, “What Is Dark Matter,” I mentioned that most of the scientific community accepts the experimental evidence confirming the existence of dark matter. Rightly so, since the experimental evidence of its existence is incontrovertible. Here are the salient facts …

Dark matter is real, mysterious, and necessary for our existence. Without it, we would not have a universe. It is a good thing with an ominous-sounding name. So, what is dark matter? The most popular theory of dark matter is …
