What Will Humans Evolve To?
What will humans look like in the future? From stronger bodies to bigger brains, or maybe even merging with machines. Human evolution is far from over. But it’s not just natural selection shaping our future anymore. Technology, environment, and even space travel could completely redefine what it means to be human.

What If You Fell Into the Biggest Void in the Universe?
The Boötes Void is one of the most mysterious places in space, spanning hundreds of millions of light-years and containing almost nothing. It is often called the "Great Nothing."
What would it be like to travel there? Would you see complete darkness? Could you survive the journey through such an unimaginably empty region? What does this reveal about the universe's structure?

What If It Rained Oil?
Black Rain is falling on Tehran and it doesn't stop there. Oily, toxic, and flammable. Roads turn to ice rinks, planes fall from the sky, your tap runs brown, and crops die in the ground. One lightning strike could ignite the world.
Scientists already have a name for what comes after Black Rain. Drop it in the comments if you know.

What If You Dove Into the Sun?
You’re traveling through our Solar System when suddenly, you have the opportunity to reach out and touch our biggest and brightest celestial body.
Touching our Sun would require a heat-resistant spacesuit, the strongest sunscreen, sunglasses, and a lot of courage.
The risks of touching the Sun are high. You could be instantly obliterated if you touched the Sun. Could you take the heat?

We Nuked Jupiter
Jupiter may be the biggest planet in the Solar System, but its days are numbered. Because today, we're using Earth's biggest, baddest bombs to blow the gas giant into oblivion. How many nukes would you need to do the job? What obstacles would these rocket-bound bombs encounter on the way? Would one nuclear explosion ignite the entire planet? What are Kirkwood gaps?

A collision with Oumuamua would create a city-sized crater, obliterating everything nearby. Yet, of all interstellar rocks, Oumuamua isn't th
Exploring the Possibility of Traveling to Kepler-452 b
Ever since we figured out we live on a rock drifting through space, humans have dreamed of settling on another planet. But where would we go? There's no livable alternative in our own Solar System. Mars, so cold and dry, is disappointing.
The only choice is to leave our Solar System and search for the next planet in interstellar space. Luckily, scientists have discovered a likely candidate: Kepler
What If Earth Was a Pulsar Planet?
Something is very wrong with our Sun. It’s turned into a spinning lighthouse of death. What would make the Sun so much more deadly than usual? Would there be any way life on Earth could survive this? Why would it feel like you're stuck at the bottom of the ocean? What's a pulsar planet like? Would there be eternal darkness on Earth? Will Earth still be habitable?
