Did The universe really begin with a bang, a bounce? The theory that the universe is both possibly having endured a sudden ...

Under the right conditions, this collapse doesn’t end in a singularity — instead, it bounces and begins expanding again,” said University of Portsmouth professor Enrique Gaztañaga in a statement that ...

A team of scientists is proposing a bold alternative to the Big Bang theory, suggesting that our universe may have formed ...

Earlier this year, new research suggested a potential solution to one of the most troubling aspects of modern physics — that ...

Researchers have found the first direct evidence of a “background” of gravitational waves in the universe — a sign that gravitational waves from slowly merging pairs of supermassive black holes, or ...

This new research suggests that "ordinary black holes" without a central singularity — the physics equivalent of having your cake and eating it — may be more than just the fever dream of ...

Of the four fundamental forces of physics, gravity is the one we’re most familiar with in everyday life, but it’s also the only one that can’t currently be explained by quantum physics.

On Sept. 14, 2015 astronomers “heard” two black holes crashing into each other at close to the speed of light. This discovery was a watershed moment in physics and astrophysics, ...

She studied the high-energy physics of black holes. By graduation, however, Padi became dissatisfied — no equipment on earth could simulate the conditions needed to test her ideas about black holes.

These days, students use social media and search engines to find each other. Even so, the reality of ensuring that Black women in science get their due is only just beginning. Black physics students, ...
