In a cafe at CERN in 1992, three physicists realized they disagreed about how many constants are needed to describe all of nature. A recent paper suggests only one – time – is necessary.

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 ...

Let's rewind the clock back…oh, I don't know, let's say a hundred years. It was 1917, and Einstein had just developed his ...

If so, laws might change when the universe itself changes phase. In the early universe, as temperatures and densities shifted, forces split apart from a unified origin. What we call “laws” may be like ...

Scientists say microscopic wormholes could explain discrepancies in cosmological constants and affect our understanding of ...

Last time I wrote about new data that overturns the standard cosmological model. Before anyone starts dusting off their ...

But new studies suggest that one of his most famous ideas, the cosmological constant, may not be fixed after all. If true, it could mean the universe is destined to collapse rather than expand forever ...

The expansion of the universe may no longer be accelerating at all and has long “entered a phase of slowed expansion.” At least that's the opinion of a research group from South Korea, which has now ...

Astronomers are rethinking one of cosmology’s biggest mysteries: dark energy. New findings show that evolving dark energy models, tied to ultra-light axion particles, may better fit the universe’s ...
