Beyond Anthropocentrism: Rethinking Why We Save the Planet Environmentalism often values nature for its human benefits, but deep ecology challenges this view, asserting that Earth’s worth is intrinsic, not based on its usefulness. True sustainability begins by recognising that nature deserves protection simply for existing, not for what it provides us. UCL Science Magazine • Beyond
Are “Green Solutions” Really Sustainable Green solutions rely on non-renewable rare earth elements and critical metals. While they appear to cut emissions, they often shift pollution upstream and create other serious environmental harms, worsened by industry leaders protecting monopolistic control.

The Unreliable Fabric of Reality Einstein’s relativity reshaped our view of the universe, showing that space and time shift with motion and gravity. This piece reveals how time slows, lengths change, and simultaneity fades, uncovering the physics behind everyday tech like GPS and why observers never share the same moment.
