What if the universe remembers? A bold new framework proposes that spacetime acts as a quantum memory. For over a hundred ...
If ultimately true, the universe will reach its maximum size around 11 billion years from now. At that point, physics (and ...
The universe is approaching the midpoint of its 33-billion-year lifespan, a Cornell physicist calculates with new data from ...
Deep beneath South Dakota, scientists are closing in on one of the greatest mysteries in the universe — the true nature of dark matter. Using the world’s most sensitive detector, the LUX-ZEPLIN experi ...
Astronomy is, in essence, an exercise in inference. We cannot touch the stars, nor scoop up galaxies in a lab. Instead, we ...

In May 2019, astronomers picked up something strange in the fabric of spacetime. The LIGO and Virgo detectors recorded a ...
Alvarez was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1968 for his work on elementary particle physics. His work had an ...
Could our universe be expanding then shrinking back into a tiny point, reliving a kind of big bang over and over again? Probably not, according to a mathematical analysis that argues that the laws of ...
For more than a century, physics has been built on two great theories. Einstein's general relativity explains gravity as the ...
A problem that has long been considered impossible to solve and that now, thanks to a breakthrough, can be calculated quickly ...
No one knows for sure, but it is not unlikely that the universe is constructed in a completely different way than the usual theories and models of today predict. The most widely used model today ...
