In a new, detailed breakdown of current theory, a team of physicists led by Mir Faizal of the University of British Columbia ...

The model questions the popular inflation theory, which most experts believe was facilitated after the universe's birth. The ...

As theoretical physics delves deeper into the fundamental nature of reality, we’re left to grapple with the questions it leaves us. For example, some physicists claim that our universe is merely an ...

A model that allows for this prolonged expansion would be more general (meaning it could apply to multiple possible versions of the universe), but calculations involving strongly coupled spacetimes ...

Theorists have found that a “warm” version of cosmic inflation is consistent with known physics, linking it to the hunt for ...

In 1867, Lord Kelvin imagined atoms as knots in the aether. The idea was soon disproven. Atoms turned out to be something ...

"It would be amazing if a simple rotation of the universe was the origin of dark energy." What is dark energy? Why does dark energy seem to be weakening? Is our universe part of a larger multiverse?

Sebastian Currier’s “Mysterium” is based on the husband-and-wife team of scientist Robbert Dijkgraaf and novelist Pia de Jong. Donald Nally leads The Crossing choir in a rehearsal of ‘’Mysterium’’ at ...
