Scientists are testing a novel way to measure cosmic expansion using time delays in gravitationally lensed quasars. Their ...

In the end, the Universe becomes a place where gravity and quantum physics slowly turn all mass into faint streams of particles.

Ramanujan's pi-computing machinery exactly mirrors the necessary structure in modern physical theories (LCFTs).

New details from the Webb telescope indicate there might be a fundamental problem with our understanding of the universe. The spiral galaxy NGC 4258, imaged by the Hubble Space Telescope, measures ...

Rest assured that as everything seems to be falling apart on Earth, it also appears that the rest of the universe is on a downward trajectory, too. In new research that gauged several vital signs of ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: A new paper adjusts an equation that defines our universe in response to recent new data. The cosmological constant, which describes how our universe ...

It is widely thought that our universe is expanding at an ever-accelerating rate. But could we have that wrong? That is what a group of scientists from South Korea claims, but other scientists have ...

His latest book, Discordance, fits into the class of conventional popular cosmology, in so far that it is an account of how our present understanding of the Universe has emerged. But it is also, with ...

Calculating the total mass of the universe is not simple, because most of the mass is invisible. In a pie chart of the contents of the universe, only 5 percent is normal matter, atoms that make up all ...

The theorists predict that the beginning of the end will be in about 10 billion years — less than the present age of the universe. Tantalizing evidence hints that dark energy might be evolving, ...

For at least two decades, astronomers have mostly agreed that the universe is around 13.7 billion years old. But the ages of super-old stars and the masses of early galaxies provide compelling ...

In 2022 three scientists won the Nobel Prize in Physics for proving something astonishing: the universe is not locally real. In other words, particles don’t have fixed properties until they are ...
