Getting Brighter on Dark Energy
Q: What is dark energy? A: It's when your kids defy you after sunset, make noise, and refuse to go to bed.
Not really, but trying to understand dark energy seems as much fun as trying to corral … more
A Dime's Worth of Difference
The universe is incredibly massive. Nevertheless, its mass must be spectacularly fine-tuned for life to be possible. Exactly how massive the universe is remained unknown until astronomers focused the … more
