It's not about fairness. It's about using every possible advantage.
jwst background galaxies
These high-mass, rapidly star-forming galaxies have called modern cosmology into question. But hi-res simulations show no tension at all.

This scientist made an algorithm to predict which artists succeed — all without even looking at their art.
dark energy accelerated expansion
All forms of energy affect the expanding Universe. But if matter and radiation slow the expansion down, how does dark energy speed it up?

The best evidence for dark matter is astrophysical and indirect. Do new lensing observations point to ultra-light, wave-like dark matter?
How does the mind interact with the body? Nobody really knows — but these philosophers ventured an answer.
