Does the Higgs Boson offer proof that nature is not natural?
When scientists working at CERN discovered the HIggs Boson last year, it was expected they would find other new particles along with the Higgs as predicted by every model there was. But it was just a boson, and one that seemed to be way smaller than it should have been. The big (really big) implication here is that the universe may not have a “natural order” that every thinker and scientist from Aristotle to Einstein have been a fan of. In fact, our universe may be one of trillions who just happened to have physical laws just good enough for anything to exist at all and the laws of physics we so rely on only go so far before everything stops making sense.
US Supreme Court rules pre-Miranda silence can be used in court
If you’ve ever seen any American crime show, you’re quite familiar with Miranda rights, you have the right to remain silent, anything you say can be used against you in a court of law blah blah blah. Yesterday, the US Supreme Court ruled however that in order to invoke your right to remain silent, you must say so. Huh?

Did Homo sapiens destroy all the other human races or did we just interbreed them out of existence? A little of both.
Ever since Neanderthals were discovered to have been a separate human race, anthropologists have been asking where they went. Now we know there were a couple other ancient non-Homo sapien human species, and they’re gone as well. So what the hell happened? Did Homo sapiens come out of Africa fighting or did modern Homo sapiens come about as the product of interbreeding between us and other hominid species? Turns out, it was a little of both.
