About the big bang: Baffled by the expansion of the universe? You're not alone. Even astronomers frequently get it wrong

Article Abstract:

The expansion of the universe is one of the most fundamental concepts of modern science yet one of the most misunderstood. The difference between the expansion of space and the expansion in space, reasons for the occurrence of cosmic redshift, galaxies receding faster than light, and big bang explosion, and the discrepancies in these concepts are discussed briefly.

Article Abstract:

An analysis of several psychological tests, including the Rorschach inkblot test and the Thematic Apperception Test, reveals that their results may not be as accurate as once believed. Others dispute the contention, and claim that the assessment results are accurate if interpreted correctly.

The small planets

Article Abstract:

Asteroids are now considered to be more than mere points of light, but geologic objects, following observations of unexplained markings. Their odd shapes in the minor- planet world may attest to the origin of the planets.
