Walking on the Sun

Sometimes I simply like to post science related news stories which are interesting.  This brief story is simply about how, universally speaking, unremarkable the Sun is.  It also has an interesting link to the Theory of Evolution in that the Sun is the major source of the energy for Earth and since the Sun has [...]

Platypus Genome Fun

Often the case of the Platypus is an example brought up by Creationists as a case of something the Theory of Evolution is unable to explain.  Of course, they were wrong then and it seems that some further research has shown them to be even more wrong (if that is possible).  The following is the [...]

Timeline of the Universe

I came across the following news article which seems to serve as a brief but still useful guide to how the Universe formed and what happened in those very early stages.

Another cool science story:Universal Origins

I simply love science and the things that it is able to figure out and show.  It is almost certainly one of the main tools that has allowed humanity to crawl out of superstitious backwardsness (hm, think I just made up a word) and into an age far more based on reason, logic and simple [...]
