Did The universe really begin with a bang, a bounce? The theory that the universe is both possibly having endured a sudden ...
A team of scientists is proposing a bold alternative to the Big Bang theory, suggesting that our universe may have formed ...
Could the Universe have been born inside a black hole? This question, raised by a team of scientists, challenges the Big Bang ...
Why physics Nobelist Roger Penrose believes there are black holes left over from previous universes Physics Nobelist Sir Roger Penrose has an odd theory about the universe — and there's even ...
The Big Bang has a lot of problems. For one, the usual laws of physics break down in a singularity. It’s bizarre and chaotic; anything could happen. Which makes cosmologists wonder why it would ...
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 ...
Astrophysicist Avi Loeb summed it up for Curiel in terms anyone could understand, regardless of their physics background: “A black hole is the ultimate prison: once you check in, you can never ...
The gravitational waves we’ve detected so far have been like tsunamis in the spacetime sea. Now, a 13-year survey of light from pulsars scattered across the galaxy may have revealed the first ...
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.
Noisy neighbours: two black holes about to merge. (Courtesy: SXS) Gravitational-wave background noise created by merging back holes could be 10 times louder than had been expected, according to ...
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, ...
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.
