Gravitational waves mark start of new era in space exploration

On Feb. 11, scientists announced the discovery of gravitational waves, ripples in the fabric of space and time produced by the collision of two black holes about 30 times more massive than the sun. This discovery ushers in a new era in human understanding of our place in the universe.

For a brief second as they collided, the black holes produced 50 times the energy of all the stars in the observable universe combined, according to researchers involved in the large international collaboration that uncovered the new findings.

The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) instruments in Washington and Louisiana caught sight of the build-up to and the moment when the black holes merged into one, which occurred about 1.3 billion years ago. …

James Franco defies the odds in Hulu's compelling '11.22.63'

“You’re not supposed to be here.”

Jake Epping hears these words over and over again throughout the nearly 90-minute premiere episode of the new time-travel thriller 11.22.63 — and after a while, it starts to feel like the statement is meant for more than just the hero at the heart of the show.

It’s an A-list roster of talent and an intriguing choice of venue, but not exactly a selection of ingredients one would expect to see in the same cauldron. …

Alaskan man dances to Alicia Keys with powerfully strange moves

There is no wrong way to dance — but there are ways that defy human interpretation.
