When college students post about depression on Facebook
When college students post about feelings of depression on Facebook, their friends are unlikely to encourage them to seek help, a small study suggests. In fact, in this study, none of the 33 participating students said their friends told them they should reach out to a mental health professional to discuss their problems.

Theoretical holes in spacetime could swallow the entire universe
In a new paper, physicists argue that extradimensional holes known as “bubbles of nothing” could cause the universe to consume itself from the inside out, Motherboard reports. Three researchers from the University of Oviedo in Spain and the University of Uppsala in Sweden submitted a paper, appropriately titled “Nothing Really Matters,” to the Journal of High-Energy Physics this month — about a hypothetical, mind-bending hole that could destroy the entire universe.

Is There a Smarter Way to Think About Sexual Assault on Campus?
If I were asked by a survey to describe my experience with sexual assault in college, I would pinpoint two incidents, both of which occurred at or after parties in my freshman year. In the first case, the guy went after me with sniper accuracy, magnanimously giving me a drink he’d poured upstairs. In the second case, I’m sure the guy had no idea that he was doing something wrong.

Dark matter is slowing the spin of the Milky Way’s galactic bar
For 30 years, astrophysicists have predicted such a slowdown, but this is the first time it has been measured. The researchers say it gives a new type of insight into the nature of dark matter, which acts like a counterweight slowing the spin.

New Research Suggests We Could Conquer the Galaxy In Under A Billion Years
New research published in the American Astronomical Society has confirmed through the use of a computer simulation that aliens–or humans–could potentially colonize the galaxy, a feat within the capabilities of modern Earth technology. According to the new research, doing so would only take a civilization like ours a billion years to complete.

The universe could stop expanding 'remarkably soon', study suggests
After nearly 13.8 billion years of nonstop expansion, the universe could soon grind to a standstill, then slowly start to contract, new research published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences suggests. In the new paper, three scientists attempt to model the nature of dark energy — a mysterious force that seems to be causing the universe to expand ever faster — based on past observations of cosmic expansion. In the team's model, dark energy is not a constant force of nature, but an entity called quintessence, which can decay over time.
