Contrary to popular belief, our universe may not be constantly expanding after all. A groundbreaking study by South Korean ...

The universe has no brain. It has no gray matter, no nervous system, no neurons firing electrical impulses—and yet, that ...

If true (and it’s a pretty big “if”), Vopson’s new gravitational study would shake the foundations of the currently accepted view of the universe. In his paper, Vopson writes that his new work could ...

For decades, the prevailing view has been that dark energy causes the universe’s expansion to accelerate indefinitely, potentially ending in a scenario known as the “Big Rip,” in which galaxies, stars ...

Another batch of the ‘impossible’ galaxies turned out not to be standard galaxies at all, but a new type of object that ...

The shape of the universe is not something we often think about. But my colleagues and I have published a new study suggests ...

The Atacama Cosmology Telescope in Chile has released its final batch of data after 15 years — and it proves that the Hubble tension is very real.

By studying tiny distortions in the shapes of distant galaxies, scientists mapped dark matter and dark energy across one of the largest sky surveys ever assembled. Their results back the standard ...

Studies suggest that the universe's expansion is decelerating — but what could that mean for the future of the cosmos?

James is a published author with multiple pop-history and science books to his name. He specializes in history, space, strange science, and anything out of the ordinary.View full profile James is a ...

The universe’s expansion might not be accelerating but slowing down, a new study suggests. If confirmed, the finding would upend decades of established astronomical assumptions and rewrite our ...

For decades, astronomers have been trying to nail down the value of the Hubble constant—a measure of how fast the universe is expanding. But some cosmologists say there’s evidence that the universe is ...
