Shocking’ results from a major astronomical study have raised doubts about the standard model of cosmology, forcing ...

In simplest terms, the rate at which the universe expands on paper doesn’t match actual astronomical observations. That speed ...

"The new model can account for both structure formation and stability, and the key observational properties of the expansion ...

At long last, a unified theory combining gravity with the other fundamental forces—electromagnetism and the strong and weak ...

The potential finds could be contributing to some of the faintest light we can see in the universe, say researchers.

If this scenario plays out, “the world as we know it would collapse like a house of cards,” says one theoretical physicist.

Earth rotates, the Sun rotates, the Milky Way rotates – and a new model suggests the entire Universe could be rotating.

Ever since general relativity pointed to the existence of black holes, the scientific community has been wary of one peculiar ...

In a new effort, physicists working on a non-relativistic dark fluid model say that if the universe is rotating then these discrepancies between the two measurements can be resolved. "To ...

The new model forgoes the need for either dark matter or dark energy as explanations for the universe's acceleration and how structures like galaxies are generated. The researcher's work builds on ...
