The mysteries surrounding the origins of the universe have long intrigued scientists and philosophers alike. New research, published in the Living Reviews in Relativity, introduces an innovative ...

Specifically, the team is looking at the fraction of a second after the Big Bang, which is called Cosmic Inflation, because ...

Johannes holds an MSci in Neuroscience from King’s College London, where he worked on projects involving Alzheimer’s disease and Fragile X syndrome.

Asking what existed before the Big Bang is often dismissed as meaningless, since traditional physics breaks down when pushed that far back in time. Yet a new paper published in Living Reviews in ...

If this new model of the universe is right, there were boson stars and cannibal stars hundreds of millions of years before ...

The Big Bang theory is supported by the discovery of the cosmic microwave background radiation. The universe rapidly expanded and cooled after the Big Bang. Light elements like helium and lithium ...

We’re often told it is “unscientific” or “meaningless” to ask what happened before the big bang. But a new paper by FQxI cosmologist Eugene Lim, of King's College London, UK, and astrophysicists Katy ...

Cosmologists have traced the Big Bang’s earliest moments with great care, from the explosive inflation that set spacetime in ...

Before atomic elements came together, less than a second after the Big Bang, if particles condensed into halos of matter, these halos may then have collapsed, creating the first black holes, boson ...

A new study suggests that during a potential phase of primordial matter domination, particle interactions may have led to the formation of the universe’s first compact cosmic objects. Less than a ...
