May 31, 2023 /Lifestyle/ — Science is a systematic enterprise that builds and organizes knowledge in the form of testable explanations and predictions about the universe. It is a process of discovery that involves making observations, formulating hypotheses, and testing those hypotheses through experiments.

Science can be seen as a miracle because it allows us to understand the world around us in a way that was not possible before. It has given us the ability to cure diseases, develop new technologies, and explore the universe. Continue reading →

Over the short span of just 300 years, since the invention of modern physics, we have gained a deeper understanding of how our universe works on both small and large scales. Yet, physics is still very young and when it comes to using it to explain life, physicists struggle.

Physicists have long struggled to explain why the universe started out with conditions suitable for life to evolve. Why do the physical laws and constants take the very specific values that allow stars, planets and ultimately life to develop? The expansive force of the universe, dark energy, for example, is much weaker than theory suggests it should be – allowing matter to clump together rather than being ripped apart.
