The world is awash in self-help gurus promising the secrets to manifestation and abundance. But Jim Curtis, a transformational coach with a background as diverse as his approach, transcends the ...

In the world of quantum physics, the rules that govern reality behave in ways that challenge what we think we know. Particles can be in two places at once. Actions on one particle can instantly affect ...

A quiet revolution is taking shape in the world of physics, and it doesn’t rely on exotic particles or massive particle colliders. Instead, it begins with something much more familiar—sound.

Growing up in the US during the oil embargo of the early 1970s, I was bombarded by public service announcements encouraging people to conserve energy. But at a very young age, I also read that “energy ...
