The Big Bang may not have been the beginning of the universe, according to a theory of cosmology that suggests the universe can “bounce” between phases of contraction and expansion.

Nothing in our universe stands still: Earth orbits the sun, the sun circles the galaxy, and even galaxies are constantly on the move. So why is everything in space in motion? It all comes down to ...

Most of the matter in the universe is missing. Scientists believe around 85% of the matter in the cosmos is made of invisible dark matter, which has only been detected indirectly by its ...

Are we alone in the universe? The question has tugged at humanity ever since we discovered the enormity of the cosmos. In 1950, Enrico Fermi postulated his famous paradox: If life is common enough ...

"How surprising it has been to find a supermassive black hole with a billion solar mass when the universe itself is only half a billion years old," said senior author Alexander Kusenko, a ...

Astronomers used artificial intelligence to calculate the five cosmological parameters that describe the entire universe in computer simulations with unprecedented precision. Artificial ...

Red shift data provides evidence that the Universe, including space itself, is expanding. The discovery of the CMBR, after it had been predicted by the theory, provided very strong support for the ...

Over billions of years, the universe's stars and galaxies shined their light into space, leaving behind an imperceptibly faint night light known as the cosmic optical background. NASA's New ...

The standard model of the universe relies on just six numbers. Using a new approach powered by artificial intelligence, researchers at the Flatiron Institute and their colleagues extracted ...

Rome-based sales company True Colours has picked up the Ukrainian sci-fi dramedy “U Are the Universe,” written and directed by Pavlo Ostrikov, which will have its world premiere at the Toronto ...

The universe may have had a "secret life" before the Big Bang, a recent study has revealed. The research, published in the Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics, suggests that the ...

Theresa Fruth works for the University of Sydney. Most of the matter in the universe is missing. Scientists believe around 85% of the matter in the cosmos is made of invisible dark matter ...
