We often say that life was much simpler in historic times. And while that might be true in some ways, realistically, people led much tougher lives than we do today. Namely, 10000 years ago was the beginning of what we now call the Neolithic period, a time when people were starting to transition from nomadic lifestyles to settling down, forming...

Time is a concept so ingrained in our daily lives that we rarely question it. Yet we are constantly aware of it. The question, "What time is it now?" is one of the most frequently asked questions ever. Indeed, from the moment we wake up to the minute we fall asleep, we measure our experiences in seconds, minutes, and hours. But...

We know many things about the universe, yet we (most likely) don't know 99% of what is really happening. Every couple of years, we develop new theories about the end of the universe or how it is evolving. And so, just recently scientists proposed an interesting new theory – a possibility that the universe is rebooting somehow. And while this does sound weird it is also...

Think about this for a second—what if every single person on Earth lived inside one building? That really sounds like a strange sci-fi scenario, but it's fun to stretch the imagination sometimes. Currently, the world population is over 8 billion so housing all of us under one roof would be a logistical nightmare, but let’s play around with the idea. It's a...

Throughout history, some philosophers have pushed the envelope so hard that that philosophy turned into something else. These philosophers didn’t just challenge ideas; they pulverized them, leaving behind a legacy that is brilliant but also...

We all know that Neanderthals lived on Earth long time ago. Well, actually not so long ago in the grand scheme of things. They disappeared some 40,000 years ago. We will explain later how that happened exactly. For now, imagine a world where Homo sapiens aren’t the only intelligent species walking the Earth. Neanderthals, our ancient relatives, live alongside us—working, socializing,...
