The Hubble tension—a disagreement over the universe's expansion rate—has led to fears of a cosmology crisis, but is it ...
Our best model of the cosmos has a glaring mathematical problem, but we may have found an answer.
The cosmological constant, originally introduced by Einstein as a measure of vacuum energy density, has re-emerged as a central challenge in understanding the observed accelerated expansion of the ...
Physicists sometimes come up with crazy stories that sound like science fiction. Some turn out to be true, like how the curvature of space and time described by Einstein was eventually borne out by ...
Cosmological models with varying fundamental constants explore the possibility that quantities traditionally regarded as immutable—such as the speed of light (c), Newton’s gravitational constant (G) ...
We know that the universe is getting bigger. And we know that the speed that the universe is getting bigger is also getting bigger. The standard assumption is that the acceleration rate is itself ...
