The shape of the universe is not something we often think about. But my colleagues and I have published a new study suggests it could be asymmetric or lopsided, meaning not the same in every direction ...

In the chaotic first moments after the Big Bang, ripples in spacetime may have done more than just echo through the ...

The most precise measurement yet shows the Universe is expanding faster than expected, deepening the Hubble tension. The ...

New research suggests that relic black holes from before the big bang may still shape galaxies today. These black holes could ...

A comprehensive new study combines decades of research to reveal that we're missing an essential component in our ...

A recent study published in Astronomy & Astrophysics has provided the most accurate measurement of the universe’s expansion rate, a discovery that not only refines our understanding of cosmology but ...

Scientists have introduced a new Big Bounce model that disputes the Big Bang, suggesting the universe may have cycled through earlier cosmic eras.

Black holes that formed before the Big Bang could still exist today as ‘cosmic fossils’, potentially helping to explain the ...

Relax, it’s only happening in theoretical physics—at least for now.

In the moments following the Big Bang, the extreme heat and pressure coerced matter into a goopy mix of tiny particles. But how goopy? The answer had remained rather unclear to physicists—until now.

A team of researchers have drastically scaled back the going estimate of how long it will be until the universe ceases to ...

A major international effort has produced an ultra-precise measurement of the Universe’s expansion rate, confirming it’s ...
