The story arcs of Marvel comic books, published over the last several decades, involve thousands of characters and a half-million pages, becoming what author Douglas Wolk calls the longest continuous, self-contained work of fiction ever created. Wolk undertook analyzing this ongoing epic – the "biggest story ever told" – in his book, "All of the Marvels." He talks with correspondent Luke Burbank.

I've seen a lot of confusion over what precisely the term 'observable universe' refers to. This post is an attempt to remedy that. In 1929, Edwin Hubble discovered that the universe is expand…

How long can Warner Bros. and Legendary ride the sandworm of success that is 'Dune'? It may depend on how much money that sandworm can ingest—and how long auteur director Denis Villeneuve plans on sticking around.

Einstein, Hubble and other cosmologists have demonstrated that our universe is expanding, with most galaxies moving away from each other.

The Tommy Westphall Universe Hypothesis is a theory that has existed and grown over decades. The basic concept boils down to the idea that a huge number television shows belong to a single connected universe, and that universe exists in the mind of a child, Tommy Westphall.

It encompasses everything that ever was and ever will be.

Think of bringing a pot of water to the boil: As the temperature reaches the boiling point, bubbles form in the water, burst and evaporate as the water boils. This continues until there is no more water changing phase from liquid to steam.

As far as we can tell, there's no limit to how far it goes on; only a limit to how far we can see. Could the Universe truly be infinite?

COMMENT: Martin - Thank you for your efforts to write your discoveries down into publications so that they will be available for the benefit of civilization after you have passed on. I am very much looking forward the "The Geometry of Time". Like many groundbreaking thinkers of the past, you may end up being someone

Neutrinos are bizarre and ubiquitous and may just break the rules of physics

Around the same time as Kronecker obtained his doctorate, Gauss' star pupil Riemann also transferred to Berlin, where he stayed for two years before returning to Göttingen in 1849. The German university system at the time allowed students to easily move from one university to another. Dedekind, Riemann's closest contemporary transferred to Berlin as well. They both received their habilitation in 1854. Afterwards…

This telegraph message, "Attention the Universe by kingdoms right wheel", was sent by Samuel F. B. Morse during a private demonstration of his telegraph system on January 24, 1838. This message predates the more famous "What hath God wrought" by about six years. The command refers to a military maneuver, appropriate since the demonstration was for artist and soldier General Thomas S. Cummings.
