About 13.8 billion years ago, the origin of the universe began with the Big Bang. Scientists say all space, time, matter, and ...

"Birth of the Universe" at Manfred Olson Planetarium will explore clues that astronomers have used to understand the evolution of the universe. Scientists trace the origins of the cosmos to the Big ...

The discovery of the universe’s oldest stars, identified within our own Milky Way galaxy, marks a significant leap forward in our understanding of cosmic history. These ancient stars, formed shortly ...

Physicists are quietly entertaining one of the strangest ideas in modern cosmology: that the cosmos we see might be only half the story. In this picture, a separate “dark” event, a kind of second Big ...

For decades, the Standard Cosmological Model has operated on a single, foundational assumption: the Big Bang happened everywhere at exactly the same time. Today, a newly released theoretical paper ...

Scientists are rethinking the universe’s deepest mysteries using numerical relativity, complex computer simulations of Einstein’s equations in extreme conditions. This method could help explore what ...

A new computational simulation of the early universe has revealed a fundamental, unbreakable geometric limit to the fabric of spacetime, dubbed the "Metric Wall." Discovered by independent physics ...

The big bang wasn’t a bang in the traditional sense—but it was nonetheless the start of important things: for one, space; another, time. Thirdly, it began the conditions and processes that eventually ...
