Spain vs Cape Verde World Cup prediction: Why the over on Spain's team total looks like the play
We've had some World Cup luck so far, so we have to keep pushing our luck, right? Right. We have gone 2-1 with a win in the USA, a loss on the over in the Brazil game, and a really good win in the Netherlands and Japan tying, getting us a +240 win. Let's try to grab one here with Spain and Cape Verde. Even a casual observer would expect Spain to be the better team in this game. You could probably even assume that Spain should make a deep run in the World Cup overall. What is a little unique abou...

Why Consciousness Might Not Belong to Us Alone
We have spent centuries being knocked off our pedestal. Earth isn't the centre of the Solar System, the Sun isn't the centre of the Galaxy, and we are not the point around which everything else turns. Now two philosophers want to take the demotion one step further and apply it to the thing we hold most precious of all, our own conscious minds. If they're right, awareness may be far more widespread, and far stranger, than we ever dared imagine.

The Galaxy's Spin Is Hiding in the Hum of Gravitational Waves
We are used to thinking of gravitational waves as messengers from catastrophes in space, the ringing of spacetime after black holes collide for example. But our own Galaxy hums with a fainter, steadier signal, a chorus of millions of unseen binary stars. A new study has found that this hum carries a hidden fingerprint of the Milky Way's spin, and that if a future space mission ignores it, our picture of the Galaxy itself could come out subtly wrong.
