DESI has made the largest 3D map of our universe. The Earth is at the central vertex, and every dot is a galaxy. DESI collaboration and KPNO/NOIRLab/NSF/AURA/R ...

According to physics, the universe and everything in it can be explained by just a handful of equations. They’re difficult equations, all right, but their simplest feature is also the most mysterious ...

A new study of one of the universe's fundamental constants casts doubt on a popular theory of dark energy, scientists say. Dark energy is the name given to whatever is causing the expansion of the ...

Why is the universe being ripped apart? It’s a question that has plagued astronomers since the discovery in the 1990s that the expansion of the universe is accelerating. The story is only further ...

Last time I wrote about new data that overturns the standard cosmological model. Before anyone starts dusting off their fringe cosmological models, we should note what this new study doesn't overturn.

The theoretical framework underlying gravitational waves may have to be revamped to account for dark energy and the acceleration of the expansion of the universe. That’s the conclusion of researchers ...

The Atacama Cosmology Telescope in Chile not only confirmed one of the greatest mysteries in the universe—it also ruled out ...

Those of you who know my writing will know that I don’t use many analogies. Analogies have a very useful place in helping people understand difficult concepts, but they also have a tendency to be a ...
