A scientific analysis inspired by the song 'I Melt with You' reveals the staggering energy required to halt Earth's rotation. Dr. Drang breaks down the physics of mass moments of inertia, contrasting idealized calculations with real-world planetary density variations.

New research suggests our Milky Way galaxy is a mere speck within the vast Laniākea supercluster, which itself appears to be gravitationally drawn into the colossal Shapley Supercluster. This discovery, driven by analyzing the motions of 56,000 galaxies, challenges cosmological models and forces a fundamental rethink of matter distribution in our cosmic neighborhood.
