Cosmology is already a complicated field of study, so switching up the variables is extra rough.
We know that the universe is getting bigger. And we know that the speed that the universe is getting bigger is also getting bigger. The standard assumption is that the acceleration rate is itself ...
According to physics, the universe and everything in it can be explained by just a handful of equations. They’re difficult equations, all right, but their simplest feature is also the most mysterious ...
The expansion of the universe could be a mirage, a potentially controversial new study suggests. This rethinking of the cosmos also suggests solutions for the puzzles of dark energy and dark matter, ...
Scientists in Greece have laid out a mathematical framework to help explain a so-far-unsolved gap in our understanding of how ...
What’s powering the Universal acceleration? This may be the biggest question is modern cosmology, the study of the structure and evolution the Universe. We’ve known for nearly a century that the ...
Last time I wrote about new data that overturns the standard cosmological model. Before anyone starts dusting off their ...
A striking reality faces modern cosmology: two of the most advanced telescopes ever built now agree on a result that the standard cosmological model cannot explain. Webb’s confirmation of the Hubble ...
It is dangerous to bet against Einstein. Cosmological research shows that the rate at which the Universe expands is increasing, rather than decreasing as had previously been thought. The concept of ...
The vacuum of space isn't actually "empty"; it teems with particles that pop in and out of existence, giving the vacuum an energy of its own. But here's an embarrassing fact about that energy: it ...
A trio of physicists play with the math that describes Bose Einstein condensates. Hidden down behind the BEC's couch, they found a fake cosmological constant that they could use to show why our ...
A new study of one of the universe's fundamental constants casts doubt on a popular theory of dark energy, scientists say. Dark energy is the name given to whatever is causing the expansion of the ...
