A nuclear bomb is the most devastating explosion ever created.
One bomb can end tens of thousands of lives immediately and
hundreds of thousands through the radioactive aftermath. However,
the worst part comes afterward: a nuclear winter that might kill billions,
potentially leading to the complete collapse of our civilization.
In a nuclear winter, there are no winners – only starving losers.
How exactly does it work and what would it look like?

What is outside of the universe? We know that the universe had a beginning 14 billion years ago and that it has been expanding ever since.
But something that is expanding should also have an edge, right?
What would you see if you went there?

We need to have an honest conversation about smoking: The problem with smoking is that it is way more than just a physical addiction.
Smoking creates a temporary problem and offers an instant solution. Once your brain is used to nicotine, for up to 72 hours you are itchy,
nervous and stressed – but one drag and instantly, you feel really good. It also helps you focus and take breaks during work, while suppressing your appetite.
So why is it such a bad idea?

You may think you have free will and can choose what you do, but this might be an illusion. Your body is made up of particles that
blindly follow the laws of physics, with every outcome already predetermined. So, you might not have any free will at all.
Is free will an illusion, or does it exist? Which philosophical camp is right?

The white death has haunted humanity like no other disease following us for thousands, maybe millions of years. In the last 200 years it killed a billion people – way more than all wars and natural disasters combined. Even today it’s the infectious disease with the highest kill count.
But what is this horrible disease?

Exercising doesn’t help you lose weight. In fact, it barely changes your daily calorie burn.
Welcome to the workout paradox!
Let’s dive into the science of how your body actually handles calories and sabotages your best efforts to burn them.

Time travel is possible. In fact, you’ve been doing it since the day you were born. But what if we told you there’s a way to hack the universe and manipulate time itself?
We just have to do two simple things to make it happen:
1. Make a lot of physicists grumpy.
2. Shoot one twin through space against their will, while the other chills on Earth.
Let's go!

We’ve found a new planet, home to octillions of the most extreme beings living in the most absurd and deadly hellscape. In absolute darkness, crushed by the weight of mountains, starved of oxygen, cooked alive, bathed in acid, salt or radiation. And yet, they live for thousands, perhaps millions of years! It turns out, this planet is not in space – it is inside the crust of Earth!
This is the deep biosphere and we basically learned that it exists yesterday. Its volume is at least twice as large as all the Earth’s oceans, home to more microbes than the rest of the entire planet.Their total biomass is more than 20 times greater than all humans, livestock, and animal wildlife.
Let’s descend into this mad, deadly world where none of the rules we thought are mandatory for life apply.

Being a human in the 21st century often feels frustrating. We are clearly at the high point of our species, while at the same time life is incredibly hard! We are divided, unable to solve our problems while creating new ones, destroying our world in the process. In many ways the vibe is that we live in dark times. But as Terry Pratchett said, we are the storytelling ape, we think in narratives and live in a network of stories that make up our world. So without minimizing the darkness, we want to add a story that we find helpful for dealing with the world.

At the height of the Cold War, a terrifying concept emerged: a bomb so powerful it wouldn’t need to be dropped. Known as Project Sundial, this doomsday device would have left a 400-km radius in flames and plunged the world into darkness. It was a bomb that would destroy everything – not a weapon, but an apocalypse. How close did we come to pressing the button?
