The shape of the universe is not something we often think about.

The rapid acceleration of the universe’s expansion continues to challenge our understanding of fundamental physics. Why the universe is expanding faster and faster remains one of the most intriguing ...

After a century of observations spanning the breadth of the cosmos and theoretical insights that push humanity's vision of the universe to its utmost limits, we can finally, confidently say that the ...

Cosmologists have long treated black holes and the Big Bang as separate extremes of physics, one swallowing light, the other birthing space and time. A provocative line of research now suggests those ...

AUSTIN (KXAN) — A commonly held belief that the universe is rapidly expanding may be wrong. A new paper published this month suggests the universe’s expansion might be slowing down and it could mean ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: A new paper adjusts an equation that defines our universe in response to recent new data. The cosmological constant, which describes how our universe ...

The shape of the universe is not something we often think about. But my colleagues and I have published a new study suggests it could be asymmetric or lopsided, meaning not the same in every direction ...

For much of the twentieth century, scientists expected the expanding universe to slow over time. The opposite turned out to be true. Space is stretching faster today than in the past, and the precise ...

It’s always amazing, and more than a little humbling, when the universe reminds us that our “common sense” is provincial, falling apart on cosmic scales. If you’re on the surface of Earth—and I’m ...
