    Does a cosmic 'glitch' in gravity challenge Albert Einstein's greatest theory?

    May I offer a dumb idea? I have been wondering, if mass can curve space, doesn't that make space a thing? And if space is a thing, wouldn't mass attract it like anything else?? So, isn't space being pulled into every mass everywhere? Wouldn't this cause space to stretch? Could this somehow be...

    Does a cosmic 'glitch' in gravity challenge Albert Einstein's greatest theory?

    We are anxiously awaiting your theory of relativity.

    Superfast drone fitted with new 'rotating detonation rocket engine' approaches the speed of sound

    These engines would be perfect for military drones that may be "use once" so no worries about engine wear.

    Ambitious new dark matter-hunting experiment delivers 1st results

    It has been proven that dark matter has gravity. A lot of it. How do electromagnetic waves have gravity? In fact, if they had gravity it would have been proven a longtime ago. If electromagnetic waves had gravity we would see it in colliders and fusion reactors. Tell us another story.

    SpaceX Starship docking system readies for moon missions in tests with NASA

    This is awesome. I can't wait to see this system in operation. Being the largest rocket ever produced by humanity, and the fact it's using all newly designed engines and fuel systems, it's no surprise they are having some issues getting it all working. Musk seems dedicated to this (good for him)...

    Humans on Mars could conduct far better science than any machine

    Humans can do so much more than robots, I honestly don't see why anyone argues against this. We have been sending robots to Mars since the 60s and we still don't know if there was ever any life there. Even when we send experiments to determine this, as we did on the Viking lander, the results...

    Alien mummies in Mexico? NASA's UFO study team says don't bet on it

    I can't believe anyone would take anything from this known faker seriously. The guy should be brought up on fraud charges. Maybe he would learn something after spending a few years in jail. In fact, I would go so far as to say legitimate science publications should not even include it in their...

    'Space: 1999' documentary focusing on the iconic Eagle spacecraft launches campaign on Kickstarter (exclusive)

    Came here to say the same thing. An entire page about S1999, and a list of all the shows the producers created, but the glaringly obvious missing show was UFO, the direct precursor to S1999.

    These new photos of SpaceX's giant Starship Booster 9 engine test are just gorgeous

    They didn't fill the methane tank fully in case there was a problem. They only filled it enough for the test.

    UFO whistleblower tells Congress the US government is hiding evidence of 'non-human intelligence'

    What a bunch of baloney. People are being led down the garden path. The military is laughing. Why would they reveal their cards, which is basically "there's no such thing" when China and Russia are looking on? This is just another case of hearsay, with zero actual evidence. There cockpit videos...

    Quantum computers could overtake classical ones within 2 years, IBM 'benchmark' experiment shows

    Quantum mechanics is the most successful model we have ever had for predicting what happens in reality. Many thing we use now are based on quantum mechanics. Saying it's wrong with no indication of why or any proof is dubious at best. The fact is, these people make machines work based on their...

    Disney's new Tron Lightcycle Run ride immerses fans in high-speed sci-fi action

    I don't get excited about anything Disney does anymore. They completely trashed the MCU, and have you seen what they did to Indy? Not to mention Star Wars. How can they take three properties that print money and just trash them? Personally, I hope they go broke and are forced to sell those...

    Space food: Why Mars astronauts won't have to hold the fries (video)

    That would be deep frying, not frying. Frying is with a pan and a little bit of oil or butter on the bottom. Deep frying is immersing the food in hot oil. Why would anyone in their right mind want to take a container of boiling oil into a spacecraft? I can just imagine an accident with a huge...
