Cosmic strings are super-massive, ultra-thin cracks in the universe

Cosmic strings are theoretical fault lines in the universe, defective links between different regions of space created in the moments after the Big Bang. And they might be theoretical no longer – distant quasars show the fingerprints of these strings. Compared to cosmic strings, black holes seem downright sensible. These strings – no relation to…

Exploding dark stars could be the answer to the universe’s accounting problem

The search continues for dark matter, the mysterious stuff that makes up the vast majority of all matter in the cosmos. Although nowadays they’re most likely undetectable subatomic particles, in the universe’s beginnings they could have formed super-explosive dark stars.

Here’s what happens when Dune influences high fashion

Baron Harkonen hits the runway in a bizarre series of fashion concept design pieces for people who control the Spice. The outfits are part of a feature in UK culture mag Dazed & Confused called “Inflate.” Though very Dune-esque, they also remind me of Stephen Hendee’s homespun post-apocalyptic fashion, with an ice age twist. https://gizmodo.com/after-the-media-apocalypse-stories-survive-as-patchwor-5632351…

Spoilers ahead… This was the second episode in a row where I just could not bring myself to care at all…
