We often imagine Universes with more dimensions than ours... but could such places have planets and stars that life might live on?

While we sometimes imagine vast structures rising above the sky, it is possible to have equally vast structures hang down from the sky, and on world's whose atmospheres are far larger than earth's, this may be where people choose to live.

Terms like Universe, Observable Universe, and Hubble Volume often get used interchangeably and explained in very technical terms, but simply put, what are they and how do they differ?

As ever more automation works its way into our legal system and courts, we must ask what challenges and advantages AI has in justice, and if AI will come to be our judge and jury.
