The surface of Earth is finite. We can measure it. If it was expanding, then its size would grow with time. And once again, good ol' Earth helps us understand what the universe might be doing beyond ...

An expanding universe complicates this picture just a little bit, because the universe absolutely refuses to be straightforward. Objects are still emitting light, and that light takes time to travel ...

The UK quartet (and inevitable Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees) are represented in a new program at Cleveland Museum of Natural History's Shafran Planetarium. The show is an hour long and showings ...

Stephen DiKerby receives funding from the National Science Foundation. Whether the universe will “end” at all is not certain, but all evidence suggests it will continue being humanity’s cosmic home ...

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 ...

Rest assured that as everything seems to be falling apart on Earth, it also appears that the rest of the universe is on a downward trajectory, too. In new research that gauged several vital signs of ...

Astronomers using the James Webb telescope may have discovered some of the universe's first stars, and they may offer clues to how galaxies form. Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and a ...

Scientists have long held that the universe is expanding at an ever-increasing rate, driven by a mysterious but measurable force known as dark energy. Now, a new study might upend that idea, ...

New research from UBC Okanagan mathematically demonstrates that the universe cannot be simulated. Using Gödel’s incompleteness theorem, scientists found that reality requires “non-algorithmic ...

However, not everybody agrees with this widely accepted scientific consensus. In a controversial new paper, published in the journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, a team led by ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: A new paper adjusts an equation that defines our universe in response to recent new data. The cosmological constant, which describes how our universe ...

Tinkering at their desks with the mathematics of quantum space and time, physicists have discovered a puzzling conundrum. The arcane rules of quantum theory and gravity let them imagine many different ...
