In the moments before the Big Bang, our universe was a hot, dense, and extremely high-energy place. That all changed when the universe exploded 13.8 billion years ago. Rapid inflation divided a ...

As much as I love throwing myself into the depths of ravines on a desperate hunt for diamonds, or trekking to the Nether and immediately plunging into lava, sometimes I think Minecraft needs to ...

Scientists have confirmed the space around us appears to be growing faster than physics can explain, based off precise measurements of a galaxy cluster over 300 million light-years away. For the ...

What is the structure of our physical reality? Physicists have long imagined space and time interweaving into “space-time”, the metaphorical fabric that underlies the cosmos. But there may be ...

New research suggests that dark energy isn't needed to explain the acceleration in the expansion of the universe — instead suggesting giant voids in space are creating an illusion. When you ...

Because we haven't found anything yet, we've started to wonder if dark matter might be lighter or heavier than we thought. Dark matter can't be too heavy or it might break our best model of the ...

Extremely precise measurements of the distance between the Earth and the Coma cluster of galaxies provide new evidence for the Universe’s faster-than-expected rate of expansion. (Photo courtesy ...

Full of emotional and deeply personal stories, the side content in these open-world games often outshines their main plots.

The Hubble tension grows: new data shows the Universe’s expansion defies current physics models, suggesting our understanding of cosmology may need a major overhaul. Credit: SciTechDaily.com New ...

There are other potential explanations for the newly mapped blobs. For example, they may be made of crust-like material left over from the mantle's creation 4 billion years ago. Or they may ...

DURHAM, N.C. — Our cosmic neighborhood is revealing an uncomfortable and unexplainable truth: the universe seems to be breaking the speed limit set by our best physics models. By precisely measuring ...
