The fate of the cosmos may be a bit different than previously expected. For years, scientists have talked about how the universe is always expanding — constantly moving outward, never stopping.

New research from UBC Okanagan mathematically demonstrates that the universe cannot be simulated. Using Gödel’s ...

For decades, almost every scientist has agreed that the universe began in an enormous explosion known as the Big Bang. But one group of researchers now controversially claims that everything we think ...

Scientists have shared a new theory about how the universe might end, not by fading away slowly, but by collapsing in on itself in what they call a “reverse Big Bang.” The idea suggests that after ...

A new AI-powered method is changing how scientists measure the universe. Developed by researchers at the Flatiron Institute and their partners, this technique offers a far more accurate way to ...

Researchers have moved one step closer to solving one of science’s greatest mysteries—why the universe is filled with matter instead of nothing. Scientists at Indiana University have made a major ...

Seconds after the Big Bang, the newborn universe gave rise to the first elements—ionized forms of hydrogen and helium. These particles combined, forging helium hydride—the first ever molecule. It ...

Physicists have taken the Universe’s temperature, revealing the searing trillion-degree heat of the Big Bang’s first plasma.

Scientists led by a team from the University of Chicago recently released a study that mapped some of the largest known ...

Scientists have released a new study that catalogues the universe by mapping huge clusters of galaxies. These clusters are some of the largest known objects in the universe — and they can help ...

Rob Coyne receives funding from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the US National Science Foundation (NSF). About a century ago, scientists were struggling to reconcile what ...
