Cosmic inflation tries to describe one brief but crucial phase in the Big Bang that launched the universe onto its expansion course. Many textbooks and science educators have attempted to describe the ...

Scientists believe that in the very early universe, everything was incredibly tiny, chaotic, and full of random energy ripples, known as quantum foam. It was a state where spacetime was unstable, and ...

We'll cut right to the chase: This video of Stanford Professor Andrei Linde finding out about yesterday's big discovery of "smoking gun" evidence of cosmic inflation (the "first tremors of the big ...

Is the universe 'tuned' to support life, and ultimately us? Physicists Nemanja Kaloper and Alexander Westphal have proposed ways to test this Anthropic principle. (Image of deep star field from the ...

The ‘inflationary’ model of cosmology explains many large-scale features of the Universe as the result of a primordial period of exponential, almost instantaneous cosmic expansion called inflation.

What happened in the first trillionth of a trillionth of a trillionth of a second after the Big Bang? Super-sensitive microwave detectors, built at the National Institute of Standards and Technology, ...

How did the universe begin? A compact NASA space telescope that uses less power than a refrigerator is poised to chip away at that very large question. Called SPHEREx, and set for launch on a SpaceX ...

Last year’s reports that the BICEP2 telescope had uncovered evidence for cosmic inflation turned out to be a false alarm, but researchers in the field haven’t given up. Matthew R Francis describes how ...

A team of scientists proposes a new model of cosmic inflation that reveals how gravity and quantum mechanics may be sufficient to explain how the structure of the cosmos came into being. A team of ...
