    Galactic Ghosts - How Dark...

    Dark matter is one of the greatest mysteries in modern science. Despite being invisible and undetectable by traditional means, it makes up approximately 27% of the universe’s total mass and energy. It does not emit, absorb, or reflect light, making it completely transparent to current observational instruments. However, scientists are certain of its existence due to its gravitational effects on visible matter, radiation, and the large-scale structure of the universe. Its discovery has led to a major shift in our understanding of the cosmos, revealing that most of the universe’s matter remains hidden from our view. 
    The term "dark matter" was first introduced in the early 20th century, but it wasn’t until the 1970s that astronomers began to recognize its significant role in the universe. In 1933, Swiss astronomer Fritz Zwicky observed the motion of galaxies within clusters and noted that the amount of visible matter in these clusters was insufficient to account for their observed gravitational effects. This led him to propose the existence of an unseen form of matter, which he referred to as "dark matter." Over the following decades, similar observations were made by astronomers studying the rotation of individual galaxies. The rotation speeds of galaxies were found to be much higher than what could be explained by the visible matter in the galaxies. This discrepancy suggested that there was additional, unseen matter providing extra gravitational pull, keeping the galaxies intact and preventing them from flying apart. 
    Dark matter does not interact with light or other forms of electromagnetic radiation, which is why it cannot be directly observed. It’s not made up of the usual atoms and particles that constitute the familiar matter we see in everyday life. Instead, it seems to consist of particles that do not interact with electromagnetic forces, which is why they are invisible.

    The Ethics of Technology - Moral...

    In an age where technology permeates nearly every aspect of our lives, understanding the ethical foundations behind its development and use has never been more critical. Tech ethics, at its core, explores the moral principles that guide our decisions regarding the design, implementation, and impact of technology. As digital tools become increasingly powerful and integrated into society, they bring with them profound questions about responsibility, fairness, and the human consequences of innovation. 
    The roots of technology ethics can be traced back to classical moral philosophy. Thinkers like Aristotle, Kant, and Mill laid the groundwork for how we approach right and wrong, justice, and duty. These age-old theories—virtue ethics, deontology, and utilitarianism—are still highly relevant in today's tech-driven world. For instance, when we ask whether a self-driving car should prioritize the life of a passenger over a pedestrian, we are invoking these very moral frameworks to guide the decision-making process. In this way, ethical theory provides a lens through which we can evaluate the choices we make as developers, users, and regulators of technology. 
    Modern concerns surrounding tech ethics often revolve around issues that were unimaginable even a few decades ago. Digital privacy, algorithmic bias, and autonomous systems challenge us to reinterpret traditional moral values in new contexts. This requires a dynamic understanding of ethics—one that can evolve alongside technological change. Unlike in the past, where tools were relatively neutral and required human operation, today's technologies often act with a degree of independence, raising the stakes of their ethical implications. Machines that learn, adapt, and decide are not just tools; they become agents of action whose behavior must be morally accountable.
