Earth rotates, the Sun rotates, the Milky Way rotates – and a new model suggests the entire Universe could be rotating. If confirmed, it could ease a significant tension in cosmology. So for a new ...

The six-year Dark Energy Survey has released its full results, showing that two leading models of cosmology are equally valid ...

A team of physicists have proposed a new cosmological model – dubbed the "black hole universe" – that suggests that our universe did not begin at the Big Bang. For a long time the universe was assumed ...

How the same region of the Universe would look in terms of the amount of stars for different values of the dark energy density. Clockwise, from top left, no dark energy, same dark energy density as in ...

How fast is the universe expanding? This is what a recent study published in The Astrophysical Journal hopes to address as a team of scientists investigated to see if what’s known as the Standard ...

In the grand puzzle of the cosmos, one question continues to defy easy answers: how fast is the universe expanding? Astronomers have tried two main methods to figure it out, but their numbers don’t ...

The Big Bang theory has dominated our understanding of the universe’s origin for almost 100 years. It describes a moment when all of space, time, and energy were born from a single infinitely dense ...

Physicists have long grappled with the question of why the universe was able to support the evolution of intelligent life. The values of the many forces and particles, represented by some 30 so-called ...

Across the quiet darkness of space and the buried detectors under Antarctic ice, a set of stubborn anomalies is piling up. Precision measurements of how fast the cosmos expands, strange signals that ...

The clearest pictures yet of the newborn cosmos strengthen the prevailing model of the universe but deepen a mystery about its expansion rate. Measurements of this rate, known as the Hubble constant, ...

A new gravitational model suggests dark matter may not exist. By allowing gravity to weaken more slowly at large distances, physicist Naman Kumar shows galaxy rotation curves can be explained using ...
