Cosmic Inflation

There's an extremely powerful idea in science that we take for granted, but apply all the time. The idea is simply this: that if we know the laws and rules governing a physical system, and we also…

Well… not everything. But also, not not everything

The proof may be hiding in dark matter.

Findings from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) suggest that dark energy could be evolving over time. If they're right, cosmology will need a new model.

"I think that the simplest explanation of the rotating universe is the universe was born in a rotating black hole."

NASA's newly-launched SPHEREx space telescope will offer a complementary 'panoramic' view to the JWST's high resolution infrared snapshots, enabling astronomers to study some of the universe's biggest mysteries.

Learn about NASA's SPHEREx mission, which will launch on March 6, 2025 to study the universe's early history and search the Milky Way for signs of water.

SPHEREx is slated to launch Feb. 27 on a SpaceX rocket. It is meant to map the entire night sky in infrared — something even the JWST can't exactly do.

Shaped like a megaphone, the upcoming mission will map the entire sky in infrared light to answer big questions about the universe.

Some scientists think black holes are back doors to other universes. If true, this theory could explain how all of the matter in our universe was created.

One of the biggest cosmic puzzles in the entire Universe is dark matter. If we take for granted that we know: our cosmic picture fails to add up. From how galaxies rotate to how they move within…

There are two things that never seems to fall out of fashion when it comes to theoretical physics: people proposing wild new ideas that attempt to make sense of the Universe, and people declaring…

Scientists argue that primordial black holes should have caused the Higgs field to collapse, preventing the universe's formation, challenging current models.

Although our universe may seem stable, having existed for a whopping 13.7 billion years, several experiments suggest that it is at risk—walking on the edge of a very dangerous cliff. And it's all down to the instability of a single fundamental particle: the Higgs boson.

Ask Ethan: Why didn't the Big Bang become a black hole?. If you bring too much mass or energy together in one location, you'll inevitably create a black hole. So why didn't the Big Bang become….

Primordial black holes left over from the Big Bang and no wider than a dime could be a prime target for NASA's Nancy Grace Roman Telescope after it launches ...

Imagine what it must have been like, as it was for so long throughout human history and prehistory, to look up at the wonders of the night sky in ignorance: not knowing what you were seeing or where…

Despite months of naysaying by Republicans, voters are waking up to the fact that Biden has brought about lower inflation, low unemployment and economic growth.

It's not about particle-antiparticle pairs falling into or escaping from a black hole. A deeper explanation alters our view of reality.

Bang bang all over the Universe.
