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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Scientists in Greece have laid out a mathematical framework to help explain a so-far-unsolved gap in our understanding of how ...

Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are some of the most intense and energetic phenomena in the universe. Said to be the birth-cries of black holes, they’re just about the biggest bangs our universe has seen ...

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 ...

Dark energy—the term used to describe whatever is causing the universe to expand at an increasing rate—is one of the universe’s greatest mysteries. The widely accepted theory at the present moment ...

In its first year of full operations, the Euclid space telescope has quietly built one of the most ambitious maps of the ...

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 ...

The theoretical framework underlying gravitational waves may have to be revamped to account for dark energy and the acceleration of the expansion of the universe. That’s the conclusion of researchers ...

Davis, Calif. (CBS SACRAMENTO) --Physicists predict the universe is primed for a "cosmological collapse" that will cause the universe to stop expanding at its current rate and ultimately collapse in ...
