When she awoke from her coma after suffering a brain aneurysm, Anne Strieber received a series of powerful messages, one of them being “God is a mathematical formula,” and explains the concept as "a kind of living probability theory" in her novel on her near death experience, Miraculous Journey. And it would also appear that CUNY theoretical physicist Dr. Michio Kaku has come to the same conclusion, which he outlines in his Big Think video blog titled Math is the Mind of God.read more

Renowned theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking has stated a warning to humankind: , in light of all of the potential events that could spell the extinction of the human species, we must find a way to migrate into space. Citing numerous potential extinction events that could occur over the next few thousand years, both environmental and man-made, Hawking believes that it is too risky to have mankind’s fate depend solely on the health of a single planet.

At a recent TED talk in Geneva, CERN particle physicist Harry Cliff presented his audience with a controversial new concept: science may be entering an era where "we could be facing questions that we cannot answer. Not because we don’t have the brains or technology, but because the laws of physics themselves forbid it." Key to Cliff’s concept are two numbers: one concerning the strength of the Higgs Field, as validated in recent years by the production of the Higgs boson, and the other being the force exerted by what physicists call dark energy.

At this month’s 215th meeting of the American AstronomicalSociety inour nation’s Capital, two researchers at the LosAlamos National Laboratory presented an idea that might throw thephysicscommunity for a loop. There may be something in theuniverse faster than light itself. (If you got our FREE weekly email newsletter, you would have already read this story! To sign up, click here).

John Singleton and Andrea Schmidt pushed the limits of thespeed of light theory, suggesting that while no ‘mass orinformation’ may travel any faster, waves of light couldpossibly pass through certain pulsars, or fast-spinningstars,faster than the speed of light.
