You Can Tour the Universe With Stephen Hawking in This Emmy-Winning Documentary

We’re proud to partner with companies like CuriosityStream that engage your mind while entertaining your senses. Scroll to the bottom of this article for a free episode. Stephen Hawking was one of the greatest minds in science. Over his impressive life, he made huge contributions to the planet’s understanding of everything from our tiny spot in the universe to the inner workings of reality’s most awe-inspiring phenomena. But his legacy doesn’t only lie in his breakthrough discoveries; it also lies in the engaging, approachable way he shared those discoveries with the public. When he passed away in March of 2018, the world lost a great thinker and storyteller — but that doesn’t mean we can’t revel in his genius today. There’s an award-winning documentary series he produced for CuriosityStream — the last complete series he ever appeared in — that you can watch right now.

Watch an Embryo Develop Cell by Cell With This New Microscopic Technique

Words and pictures can illustrate a lot about the world around us, but there’s nothing quite like video for putting reality in stark detail. And in the last few years, science fans have had an embarrassment of riches: new technology let scientists take video of bacteria harpooning DNA, cells moving through a living body, and a man talking … from the inside. Now, even newer visual tech is letting us see the development of an embryo at the cellular level, for the very first time. It’s not just cool — it’s also a breakthrough in our knowledge of biological development.

Global Warming Agenda to Create Authoritarian Government | Armstrong Economics

Back in 1996, the former Soviet Union President Mikhail Gorbachev expressed the real truth behind the Global Warming agenda. He said that using climate alarmism could advance the socialist Marxist objectives to restore the power of government. He said: “The threat of environmental crisis will be the international disaster key to unlock the New World Order.” Essentially, this was revealing what I have encountered many times. You create an emergency and then convince the people they MUST surrender more freedom to be safe. What Gorbachev was sayings was, in reality, a path to restoring the U.S.S.R.’s economic and political power. Those in power always seek more power because they really cannot control the economy nor society. It is the same reason why the bankers always fail is their attempted manipulation. Just as we are now finally reading about bribes that were paid by people at Goldman Sachs to those in Malaysia, they have been allegedly bribing officials around the world to manipulate markets. Even the allegations they made about me that I manipulated the world economy because they lost pointing the finger at me and our model saying I had too much influence after they lost on the whole Russian manipulation back in 1998. This is their mindset. They believe that they can remain in control by expanding power. To expand power over the general public, they need a crisis. Previously, it was the cold war to keep us frightened and looking to government to protect us. First, it was the Red Scare and communists were everywhere so they launched investigations called the McCarthy Hearings. Then as a child in school, we had drills for a nuclear attack and were told to hide under our desks, as if that would really do something. When Russia fell, they needed some new threat and then 911 was produced. Then we suddenly needed TSA, Homeland Security, and we could not wire $3,000 to anyone anywhere without an explanation – WHY? Now they are using Global Warming to expand their power. They want control and more taxes. It is a process that historically never ends until society, which is passive aggressive, suddenly snaps and we end up with revolution and the entire cycle begins once again. Those to take power in a revolution may have had good intentions at first, but the lure of power leads them to follow the very same path once again.

Here’s What Might Happen at the Event Horizon of a Black Hole

A black hole is an object that’s so dense that gravity won’t allow anything to escape it — not even light. The zone that defines where light can escape and where it can never return is known as the event horizon. But what actually happens at this point of no return? If you crossed it, what would you see? PBS SpaceTime uses a little-known physics tool to explore these questions.

Newborns Are Way Smarter Than They Appear, According to Science

Tiny babies are no doubt adorable, but given the fact that they consider staring at the ceiling fan to be the height of entertainment and haven’t yet figured out their hands are connected to their bodies, you could be forgiven for thinking they’re also not (yet) terribly smart. But new research is starting to uncover that, when it comes to newborn brains, appearances can be deceiving.

Who Invented the Scientific Method? You’ve Probably Never Heard of Him

History is full of forgotten heroes. Sometimes that’s because somebody else got credit for their work. Sometimes it’s because they were women in a male-dominated world. And sometimes it’s because a couple of continents *cough* Western society *cough* decided they didn’t want to include them in the history books. Meet Ibn al-Haytham — the guy who basically invented Science with a capital S.

That Sunlight You Feel Might Be 50 Million Years Old

Everybody knows that nothing is faster than light. And everybody knows that it whooshes through the solar system in a matter of minutes (well, technically, it takes just over five hours for light to travel from the sun to Pluto). But here’s something you might not know — the light that reaches Earth might have been created at the center of the sun more than 50 million years ago.
