Even though we can explore the universe with great precision, there is still a lot we don't know, according to Ulf Danielsson, professor of theoretical physics at Uppsala University. Besides doing ...

Astronomers are rethinking one of cosmology’s biggest mysteries: dark energy. New findings show that evolving dark energy models, tied to ultra-light axion particles, may better fit the universe’s ...

The natural complexity of the universe should phase out the possibility of some advanced civilization controlling reality ...

This idea was once thought to lie beyond the reach of scientific inquiry,” said physicist Mir Faizal of the University of British Columbia.

The Big Bang theory has dominated our understanding of the universe’s origin for almost 100 years. It describes a moment when ...

Albert Einstein is famous for his contributions to physics, even predicting this strange and fascinating gravitational effect ...

Theoretical physicist Alex Lupsasca is pushing for a space telescope to glimpse the thin ring of light that is thought to surround every black hole.

About 60 years ago, the original Star Trek series featured a technology called a “warp drive,” which allowed space travel at speeds much faster than light. Theoretical physicist and philosopher Albert ...

A mysterious glow at the center of the Milky Way has puzzled astronomers for more than a decade. New research offers an ...

For all we know, there's zero reason to believe the conspiracy theory that J.J. McCarthy is the subject of a "soft benching" in wake of Carson Wentz leading the Vikings to a 3-2 record while McCarthy ...

Researchers have unveiled a new model for the universe’s birth that replaces cosmic inflation with gravitational waves as the driving force behind creation. Their simulations show that gravity and ...

Researchers have found a suspected clump of dark matter lurking within the luminous halo of a well-known "Einstein ring." The mysterious object, the smallest of its kind ever seen, could help shed ...
