Science fiction isn't just about spaceships and lasers. It's a way to explore what it means to be human when technology changes everything. The best sci-fi writers don't just predict the future—they ask tough questions about who we are now and who we might become. They take big ideas like artificial
Science and humor don’t usually mix, but Gary Larson’s The Far Side proved they could collide in hilarious ways. Some of the comic’s wildest takes weren’t just jokes—they actually flipped scientific concepts upside down or ended up influencing real research. Take the rocket strip where a trio of clu
Science claims to be all about facts. But when it comes to race and health, some old ideas keep sneaking back in. Many studies still group people by race like it’s a biological fact—not a social label. That causes real problems. For example, medicine treats Black patients differently just because of
Science used to pride itself on clean, clear answers built from careful comparisons and strict controls. But one study on memory complaints across different groups shows how messy reality can be when we strip away too much context. Researchers matched participants on nearly every possible variable—a
Science says our brains aren’t built to sprint from morning to midnight. Around 1 p. m. most people hit a low-energy dip called the circadian slump. Instead of fighting it with coffee or another screen, researchers tested whether a short nap could fix the problem. The experiment put 20 adults in a
Turkey’s pro‑Kurdish Democratic Unity Party (DEM) slammed a recent court decision that removed the main opposition party’s leader, labeling the police raid on the Republican People’s Party (CHP) headquarters a “disgrace to democracy. ” The raid occurred on Sunday when riot police, armed with tear
Turkey has once again found itself in the middle of a power struggle between its legal system and political parties. Police were sent to the headquarters of the Republican People’s Party (CHP) in Ankara after a court decided to undo a leadership vote from last year. The ruling reinstated Kemal Kilic
Science communicators often describe their jobs as constant learning. They translate complex research into words everyone can grasp. But what happens when the research itself feels like another language? That’s the daily reality for those breaking down cutting-edge science. Take plasma physics. Exp
Turkey has just seen a fresh wave of police actions tied to a major political party dispute. Thirteen people were taken into custody across seven provinces this week, accused of tampering with delegate votes during a 2023 congress. The suspects now face multiple charges including breaking party laws
Science fiction often shows monsters that are aliens, robots or weird creatures. But the scariest threats usually come from people themselves. They are easier to relate to and can push the story into deeper territory. The list below starts with a villain who has become an icon. Darth Vader, with
