The Big Questions   This month, read up on some of the most enduring questions in science: what we know of black holes and how research is changing our understanding of the universe, the nature of human consciousness and a multidisciplinary look at what time really means. Be sure to check out Scientific American Space & Physics for the latest reporting on cosmology, astrophysics and more.

Black Holes: Going to Extremes Once dismissed as a mathematical curiosity, black holes are so strange they almost defy belief. Since their existence was confirmed, research into the nature of black holes has opened up new vistas in physics, and in this eBook, we examine some of the most fascinating discoveries about black hole formation and behavior, the new and evolving research in gravitational wave astronomy, theoretical possibilities such as wormholes and much more.

The Science of Consciousness How do neurons create our sense of self? On the other hand, could conscious thought be an illusion? The nature of conscious experience is one of the most essential human mysteries, and in this eBook we explore the research into its physical footprints, advances in measuring conscious awareness and emerging technologies bringing artificial intelligence systems closer to adapting and learning like a human brain.

A Question of Time Is time an illusion? Is time travel possible? Could time end? In this eBook, we take an interdisciplinary look at the fourth dimension, exploring the latest thinking in physics, cosmology, biology, philosophy and more.

Space & Physics Discover the latest in particle physics, astronomy, cosmology and more as you journey through space and time in each issue.
