After Seeing This Video, Your Perception of the Universe Will Never Be the Same Again

The universe is big. Really big.  A recent movie created by the American Museum of Natural History shows you exactly how unfathomably huge it really is, or at least how unfathomably huge are the parts of it that we know. Surely, there is more beyond. 
The movie, The Known Universe, takes viewers from the Himalayas through our atmosphere and the inky black of space to the afterglow of the Big Bang.
Every star, planet, and quasar seen in the film is possible because of the world’s most complete four-dimensional map of the universe, the Digital Universe Atlas that is maintained and updated by astrophysicists at the American Museum of Natural History.
The film, created by the Museum, is part of an exhibition, Visions of the Cosmos: From the Milky Ocean to an Evolving Universe. Watch Video

Is your happily-ever-after starting to look a little dim?    When is it time to move on? It's important to real...

The Key to Happy Relationships? It’s Not All About Communication

If couples were paying any attention during the past few decades, they should be able to recite the one critical ingredient for a healthy relationship — communication. But the latest study shows that other skills may be almost as important for keeping couples happy. While expressing your needs and feelings in a positive way to your significant other is a good foundation for resolving conflicts and building a healthy relationship, these skills may not be as strong a predictor of couples’ happiness as experts once thought. In an Internet-based study involving 2,201 participants referred by couples counselors, scientists decided to test, head to head, seven “relationship competencies” that previous researchers and marital therapists found to be important in promoting happiness in romantic relationships. The idea was to rank the skills in order of importance to start building data on which aspects of relationships are most important to keeping them healthy. In addition to ...
