We get questions every week about string theory and topics popularized by science fiction. Here’s the problem. There’s just no evidence.
Geoengineering … lets try to change the entire planet
Let’s talk about some existential threats we face and ways we could recover, starting with the Sword of Damocles hanging over our heads: killer asteroids.
