Do Physical Laws Require a Creator? Science, Philosophy, and the Origin of Natural Law
What Are Physical Laws? Before asking whether physical laws require a creator, we must understand what they are. Physical laws are mathematical descriptions of patterns observed in nature. They summarize how matter and energy behave under specific conditions.

Is the Universe Deterministic or Free? Exploring Fate, Free Will, and the Laws of Physics
What Is Determinism? Determinism is the idea that every event is the inevitable result of preceding causes. If you knew the exact state of the universe at one moment — including the position and momentum of every particle — you could, in principle, predict the entire future.

Can Spacetime Tear or Break? Exploring the Limits of the Universe
What Is Spacetime? Before asking whether spacetime can break, we need to understand what it is. In classical physics, space and time were treated as separate entities. Space was a three-dimensional stage where events occurred, and time flowed independently. Einstein changed this picture in 1915 with general relativity.

What Are Cosmic Strings? The Universe’s Most Mysterious Threads
What Are Cosmic Strings? Cosmic strings are theoretical one-dimensional defects in spacetime that may have formed in the early universe. They are not related to string theory’s vibrating strings, although the names are similar.

Can Stars Collapse Without Exploding? The Silent Death of Massive Stars
How Stars Normally Die Stars are powered by nuclear fusion. For most of their lives, they fuse hydrogen into helium, releasing energy that pushes outward against gravity. This balance between outward pressure and inward gravitational pull keeps a star stable.

Why Are Neutron Stars So Dense?
The Life and Death of Massive Stars The story of neutron star density begins with massive stars. Stars shine by fusing lighter elements into heavier ones in their cores. This nuclear fusion releases energy that pushes outward, balancing the inward pull of gravity. As long as this balance exists, the star remains stable.
