A comprehensive new study combines decades of research to reveal that we're missing an essential component in our ...

Churning nano-wormholes could explain the clash in our cosmological constants. The wormholes add magnitude to a math parameter called the Gauss-Bonnet term. Boosting one term in a complex equation ...

Using a new framework, astronomers arrived at the most precise measurement of our universe’s expansion rate—but things still ...

Dark energy—the term used to describe whatever is causing the universe to expand at an increasing rate—is one of the universe’s greatest mysteries. The widely accepted theory at the present moment ...

New measurement deepens Hubble Tension, suggesting the Universe may be expanding faster and hinting at unknown physics.

Cosmological expansion is widely treated as a proven fact. It is not proven. For nearly a century, cosmology has told a ...

The accelerated expansion of the present universe, believed to be driven by a mysterious dark energy, is one of the greatest puzzles in our understanding of the cosmos. The standard model of cosmology ...

Astronomers have known for decades that the universe is expanding. When they use telescopes to observe faraway galaxies, they see that these galaxies are moving away from Earth. To astronomers, the ...

Scientists in Greece have laid out a mathematical framework to help explain a so-far-unsolved gap in our understanding of how gravity scales up to the full size of our universe. Specifically, ...
