🔬 Dark Energy May Not Exist — Plus a Supplement Warning Scientists Are Urgently Sounding the Alarm On

About this episode

This episode discusses a new study challenging dark energy, evidence of primordial black holes, a new eyeless cavefish species, a brain-mapping project, and concerns over a joint supplement linked to Alzheimer's disease.

Mathematicians have published a bold new study challenging one of cosmology's most fundamental assumptions, suggesting the universe's accelerating expansion may have a very different explanation than we thought. A mysterious LIGO signal has scientists at the University of Miami buzzing over what could be the first real evidence of primordial black holes — and a potential clue about dark matter. A newly discovered eyeless cavefish species is overturning long-held beliefs about evolution in isolated underground environments, while a sweeping new study reveals how a single reproductive shift transformed the pace of life's complexity on Earth. A landmark brain-mapping project just produced the most complete neural wiring diagram ever created, with surprising implications for how intelligence actually works. And a major new study is raising urgent questions about a wildly popular joint supplement and its potential link to Alzheimer's disease — something millions of daily users may not be aware of.
