A recent study published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters has provided the most precise distance to the Coma Cluster of galaxies yet - and also has deepened a crisis in cosmology. The problem is ...

A new synthesis of astronomical measurements confirms a persistent mismatch that could point to physics beyond current models ...

Black holes are mysterious objects, and one theory posits that our universe exists inside of one. It sounds strange, but ...

Did The universe really begin with a bang, a bounce? The theory that the universe is both possibly having endured a sudden contraction and then bounced into the expanding universe we know today is not ...

The clearest pictures yet of the newborn cosmos strengthen the prevailing model of the universe but deepen a mystery about its expansion rate. Measurements of this rate, known as the Hubble constant, ...

With the increasing power of telescopes and computers, cosmologists today are pushing the boundaries of human knowledge about the universe, seeing further and simulating more accurately that ever ...

Matrix models have emerged as a powerful framework in theoretical physics, offering a nonperturbative approach to describing quantum space-time. In these models, fundamental degrees of freedom are ...

The great Russian physicist and Nobel laureate Lev Landau once remarked that “cosmologists are often in error, but never in doubt”. In studying the history of the universe itself, there is always a ...
