Physicists Explain How Block Universe Theory Reveals Time as an Illusion
The block universe theory states that time doesn’t exist how we generally perceive it. In reality, the past, present, and future co-occur, making time a clever illusion. According to the theory, this means your birth, death, and every moment in between exist somewhere in space-time. The block universe theory says that the universe consists of…

Study Says Nuclear Power Might Be the Cheapest Way to Zero Emissions
New research shows that nuclear power may play a vital role in our quest to lower emissions. To prevent catastrophic damage from climate change, we must keep global average temperatures below 1.5 C relative to pre-industrial levels. Scientists have found that energy production must reach zero emissions globally by 2050 to achieve this goal.Β Β Solar…
