Our best model of the cosmos has a glaring mathematical problem, but we may have found an answer.

Imagine shrinking Earth to the size of a small ball to reveal just how vast the Universe is. If it were 12 centimeters wide, Jupiter would stretch over a meter across beside it. But the Sun would be ...

A new JCAP study tests an “emulator” to reconstruct the large-scale structure of the cosmos If you think a galaxy is big, compare it to the size of the Universe: it’s just a tiny dot which, together ...

Mathematicians are challenging the idea that dark energy is responsible for the accelerating expansion of the universe. In a ...

In the wake of bombshell findings that suggest dark energy might be weakening as the universe expands, physicists are considering replacing the standard cosmological model of the universe with exotic ...

The shape of the universe is not something we often think about. But my colleagues and I have published a new study suggests it could be asymmetric or lopsided, meaning not the same in every direction ...
