Scientists say that they’ve just detected a massive cloud of gas some 3 billion lightyears in diameter, floating in space roughly 7 billion ...

The biggest open problem in the foundations of physics is that Einstein’s theory of gravity, General Relativity, does not cooperate with qua...

Do we live in a computer simulation? So far this question has been pursued mostly by philosophers because it was just too vague to make scie...

Einstein’s general relativity predicts singularities, such as those found inside black holes. These are places where spacetime ends and the...

A unified theory – that explains the interactions in the standard model of particle physics from one common origin – has been a goal of phys...

Physicists don’t actually know what the universe is really made of. The currently most popular theory is that most of the universe is made o...

The Simulation Hypothesis is the idea that our universe is actually an algorithm being run on a mysterious supercomputer. In a recent paper,...

The 2011 Nobel Prize in physics was awarded for the discovery that the expansion of the universe is accelerating. This conclusion rested on ...

In a recently published paper, a group of physicists outlined a new theory which might explain why our universe contains solid matter. Acco...

The idea that the constants of nature are not actually constant has been around since at least the 1930s. Physicists across the decades have...

Our universe started with an incredibly rapid phase of expansion, growing exponentially before that expansion eventually slowed down. This i...

According to a growing body of physics research, the dark energy in our universe is weakening over time. This indicates that our current sta...

According to Einstein’s theories, the universe started with a Big Bang singularity and is slowly expanding until it disperses into nothingne...

According to a growing body of data, dark energy is not constant. Instead, physicists claim, it’s slowly getting weaker. This has understand...

Gravitational memory” is the idea that gravity’s ability to duplicate information from other forces should somehow store that information in...

We’ve already discussed the crisis in cosmology multiple times on this channel. Recently, that crisis was only made worse thanks to new data...

Soon after Stephen Hawking died in 2018, his collaborator Thomas Hertog published his posthumous “final theory.” Basically, the theory build...

A new study has found that the universe might be spinning. What does that even mean? Let’s have a look. This video comes with a quiz...

Cosmology, the branch of physics that deals with the universe, is facing a bit of a crisis right now. Four crises, actually. Let’s take a lo...

Physicists have come up with a new idea for how our universe began, and it could also explain dark matter. They say that if our universe has...
