Scientific Method - The Key to Progress of Humanity

We as a species have a lot to be proud of. Imagine you were an alien watching humainities' development over the last 100 or so years. In the early 20th century, we took to the sky for the first time; the Wright Brothers made aviation history. Just over 60 years later, we landed on the moon.

Science- Flies You to The Moon

That is insane, when you think about it. But this amazing achievement was not reached through complacency, it was reached through curiosity, which is what the scientific method is all about.

Life on Kepler 22b

Since its announcement earlier this week, Kepler 22b seems to have captured the imagination of the public more than any other exoplanet we’ve discovered so far. Personally, I’ve spent a lot of time answering questions about what it would be like to live on the planet, or if it’s likely that anyone already lives there. Anything that gets people excited about science is a good thing, and while we aren’t likely to be flying to Kepler 22b any time soon, it would be useful to take some time to ask ourselves what this discovery does mean for us today.

Another Giant Leap for China in Space

The Chinese space program has had the space community in a steady stream of admiration ever since they became the planet’s third space-faring nation back in 2003. And as the years have rolled on, the roll of applause has only gotten louder.

FTL Neutrinos – Interesting Possibilities

Since the discovery of the famous FTL Neutrinos, the science community has been hard at work trying to either come up with a new theory of relativity, or disprove CERNs findings. Well, mostly the latter. It’s important to state that NOBODY has conclusively done so thus far. There have, however, been a couple of suggestions which I personally found fascinating.

A Look at the Proposed Space Launch System

With the Constellation debacle seemingly behind us, NASA administrator Charlie Bolden proudly announced the successor to the Space Shuttle Program: the Space Launch System (SLS). Assuming that the SLS receives the proper funding, research and development (and that's a BIG assumption), what can we expect from this architecture?

E3 2012 Predictions - What's going down in LA?

After the riotous success and accurate predictions made about this year’s show, I have decided to try and extend my ‘kill-streak’ and lay down the Only Logical E3 2012 Predictions even earlier.

Level System in Mass Effect 3: unclenching at Eurogamer

This weekend I had the privilege of attending the Eurogamer Expo 2011. Among the many highlights of the show was the chance to play Bioware’s Mass Effect 3 long in advance of the game’s March 2012 release date. Here are my thoughts after my hands-on preview of Mass Effect 3.
