A new study links the universe’s expansion to quantum topology, suggesting that hidden mathematical structures may stabilize the cosmological constant in ways previously unrecognized.

A new cosmological study published in arXiv suggests the universe may have a dramatically shorter lifespan than previously ...

The Universe may not have started with the Big Bang, but instead “bounced” out of a massive black hole formed within a larger “parent” universe, according to a new scientific paper. Professor Enrique ...

For centuries, humanity has pondered the ultimate fate of the universe. From theories of infinite expansion to the concept of a cosmic “big crunch,” scientists have long sought to understand how the ...

Dark matter and gas in the universe. There may be more dark matter than we think. Credit: Illustris, CC BY-SA No matter how elegant your theory is, experimental data will have the last word.

A new JCAP study tests an “emulator” to reconstruct the large-scale structure of the cosmos If you think a galaxy is big, compare it to the size of the Universe: it’s just a tiny dot which, together ...

How will the world end? While some, like Robert Frost, have waxed poetic about the end of life on Earth—fire or ice—others have been looking to science to solve the mystery. Even still, others have ...

New simulations show that early ultraviolet light controlled whether ultra-faint dwarf galaxies could form stars.

The universe’s expansion might not be accelerating but slowing down, a new study suggests. If confirmed, the finding would upend decades of established astronomical assumptions and rewrite our ...

It’s the end of the world as we know it — a lot sooner than we think. A team of researchers have drastically scaled back the going estimate of how long it will be until the universe ceases to exist.

For centuries, humanity has sought to understand the fundamental laws governing the Universe. In the twenty-first century, that search has entered a new and unprecedented phase. Modern science now ...
