Swimming in a school may help fish hear dolphins’ ultrasound clicks

Models suggest the arrangement of American shad in a shoal amplifies the ultrasonic clicks that dolphins use to hunt, helping the fish detect and evade these predators

WHY does time only move forward?

Physics

Why does time only move forwards? Possibly just because we’re ignorant

WHY is there a cosmic speed limit?

Physics

Why is there a cosmic speed limit? It could even be why we're here

Nothing in the cosmos can travel faster than light speed. By distinguishing cause and effect and stopping everything happening in a jumbled mess, our existence depends on it
