The Brains of Ultra-Powerful People Experience an Altered State of Reality, Research Suggests (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This story was originally published on March 6, 2026. Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: The question is ricocheting across social media following new revelations about Jeffrey Epstein’s private island, the center of a scandal involving the sexual abuse of minors, trafficking networks, and a glittering elite orbit that included princes, billionaires, politicians, Hollywood figures, and tech titans. But the deeper question haunting many observers is psychological: How can individu
Parallel Universes May Not Be Completely Sealed Off, a New Quantum Theory Suggests (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Imagine waking up to find a solved equation on your desk that you never worked on and can’t remember deriving. The math checks out, and there’s no missing notebook, no forgotten late-night session. Where did it come from? A recent theoretical proposal in quantum physics uses this kind of scenario as a thought experiment, raising a fascinating and unsettling question: could another version of “you” have cracked the equation in a parallel branch o
Scientists Modeled Earth’s Next Supercontinent. One Version Could Wipe Out Nearly All Land Life (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Pangea, the humongous landmass that joined together all seven continents into one mass during Earth’s prehistoric past, broke apart around 200 million years ago. In a fascinating twist of terrestrial evolution, it turns out that we’re about 200 million years away from the formation of a new, Pangea-like supercontinent, scientists say. There are four prevailing versions of how this supercontinent will evolve, according to a research article published in Geological Magazine in 2018. But to underst
Our Brains Connected to Another Dimension 50,000 Years Ago—And Turbocharged Our Intelligence, Radical New Theory Says (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: On a pleasantly warm June day in San Diego, a group of around 15 leading professors and researchers in the varied fields of neuroscience, psychology, medicine, and physics gathered behind closed doors, waiting to hear about a radical concept. Standing before the expectant, hushed crowd, senior research psychologist Robert Epstein, PhD, opened the conference with a dream. “I rarely remember my dreams, but for some reason I woke up and it stuck,”
Spacetime May Be Just One Layer of the Universe—Embedded in a Deeper Reality We Don’t Understand (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: In the brilliant Einsteinian universe we have inhabited for more than a century, space-time is the stage and matter the actors. His general theory of relativity tells us that planets, stars, galaxies, and even you move through a four-dimensional arena, where matter and energy bend and warp the stage beneath us. This is why some of the spectacular James Webb Space Telescope images we devour online show distant galaxies curved into strange, banana
