Science is what we do when we want to understand how things in the universe work. It is a process of discovering facts and developing theories about how things work and interact with each other. Science is not just limited to the physical world, but also includes the study of human behavior and social interactions. We use scientific methods to study everything from the behavior of animals to the effects of various drugs on people. By using the scientific method, we are constantly learning new things about the world around us. Science is important because it allows us to understand our surroundings and make informed decisions about our lives. It helps us to find solutions to problems and make predictions about future events. Without science, we would be living in complete darkness, unaware of the incredible complexities of the universe around us.
Using laser pulses, picosecond exposures on high-speed cameras, and some clever methods to simulate the speed of light, Austrian-based researchers were able to show that the image of an object moving at the speed of light is rotated.
How did life originate? Ancient proteins may hold important clues. Every organism on Earth is made up of proteins. Although all organisms—even single-celled ones—have complex protein structures now, this wasn't always the case.
Earlier this month, I wrote about a project I'm undertaking this year to illustrate what we see happening in prairies that enter their first year of growth following a long period of intense grazing. The ways prairie plants and animals respond after that kind of grazing are some of the most fun and fascinating interactions…
A team of researchers investigated a sequence of coastal dunes of different ages (from 0-700,000 years old) in Cooloola National Park near Rainbow Beach to understand how soil microorganisms coped with severely declining levels of nutrients such as phosphorus in soil as the dunes got older. They found microbes -- such as fungi and bacteria -- acted is 'phosphorus gatekeepers' to deal with low phosphorus levels.

On a friend’s blog, I found this delightful letter written by Charles Lutwidge Dodgson to a young man named Wilton Cox. The pseudonym Lewis Carroll comes from an alteration of the Latinized name Carolus (for Charles) and the replacement of Lutwidge with Lewis. The Puzzle Honoured Sir, Understanding you to be a distinguished algebraist (that…
In which I elaborate a bit on a recent comment... I'm still thinking about Max Dresow's fascinating post on why American geologists resisted the idea of continental drift for so long. There were various intertwined reasons for this, which Dresow's post covers. I want to focus on just one key reason, that I think provides…
