Scientists disagree about the brain size and intelligence of Tyrannosaurs and other large dinosaurs.

Now streaming on Peacock for the very first time, the psychedelic satire helmed by Antoine Bardou-Jacquet tackles the famous conspiracy theory that director Stanley Kubrick helped the U.S. government fake the Apollo 11 Moon landing by using the cinematic trickery he employed on 2001: A Space Odyssey a year earlier....

Back to the Future's 1.21 gigawatts sounds huge, but is it? We compare different power levels of common objects to see how much energy a gigawatt really is.

A Back to the Future crew member opens up about how a tweak he recommended made the film's ending work. "It's really interesting doing storyboards," he explained. "You’re working on one page at a time, one scene at a time. And so, you have a chance to think about, ‘What’s it gonna look like? How are they going to do the...

The Sliders got home at the beginning of Season 2 but didn't realize it and left again. Let's look back at the reality-hopping series, now streaming on Peacock.

Dozens of lunar-landing missions are in the works, so we might need a way to manage Moon traffic. See how we're planning on building Moon roads.

"Yes, I know. I know who's the Thing and who's not in the very end," he said during an interview with ComicBook.com. But if you were hoping for any elaboration, then keep on hoping. "Nope," Carpenter added when probed for more information. "Cannot tell you. Sorry,"...

Most of the main cast of Sliders, including Jerry O'Connell and John Rhys-Davies, left before the Sci-Fi Channel show was completed. The multiverse is all the rage these days, thanks in large part to Marvel. But if you were a kid growing up in the late ‘90s, your first introduction to the many-worlds hypothesis was probably...

Right in the very movie moment when they heard it, the words completely freaked out the sinister skin-walking aliens of John Carpenter’s action-horror classic They Live.

In the spring of 1999, NASA was in the midst of building the modern age of space exploration. The space agency was ferrying astronauts to and from orbit in a small fleet of partially reusable spacecrafts and the organization used those Space Shuttles to help construct the International Space Station. It was a time when the dream...

Along with Battlestar Galactica, Farscape and Stargate SG-1 ushered today’s SYFY channel through an especially creative (and ardently praised) period of deep-space sci-fi exploration from the late 1990s through the early 2000s.

The mission would have returned Russia to the Moon for the first time since the original space race. It would also have made them the first to soft land at the Moon’s South Pole, an area of particular interest thanks to stores of frozen water. Instead, their first lunar mission in half a century failed at the finish line when...

Even three decades later, Jurassic Park still proves it's got the cultural bite force of a fully-grown Tyrannosaurus rex.

The https://tolkiengateway.net/wiki/File:Jrrt_1972_tree.jpg of J.R.R. Tolkien is taken, in front of his favourite tree, the Pinus Nigra (named Laocoon), at the Botanic Garden in Oxford, 9th of August 1973.

We’re not even really sure about the nature and origin of all the inanimate stuff in the universe, not to mention any potential people. All of your favorite parts of the cosmos, from stars and planets to supernovae and black holes, is made of ordinary matter and accounts for only about 5 percent of what’s actually out there....

Provided we manage to stick around for a few more centuries, it feels almost inevitable that we'll eventually send some of our numbers to populate other worlds. How that happens isn't wholly clear.

At this point, there's little debate that life must exist somewhere else in the cosmos. In fact, the more we look, the more it looks like the universe is a pretty favorable place for life of all different kinds to emerge. Which makes it seem like we should all have our very own Resident Alien (streaming now on Peacock, btw), and...

The markers of the strikes’ impacts are beginning to appear....

Approximately 66 million years ago, a bright point of light appeared in the sky. Slowly, unbeknownst to the creatures walking the Earth, that point of light grew larger until it streaked across the sky in a brilliant display of cosmic light. Then the world ended. It was the interplanetary punch that knocked the dinosaurs out for...

Christopher Nolan’s upcoming biopic Oppenheimer tells the story of the titular physicist who became known as the “father of the atomic bomb.” Under Oppenheimer's leadership, a small group of 20th century scientists created a weapon so deadly it rivals the power of science fiction doomsday devices. And they did it in an...
