Researchers at UBC have found a way to mimic the elusive Schwinger effect using superfluid helium, where vortex pairs appear ...

Here’s a mind-blowing thought: what if our entire universe is actually inside a black hole? Some scientists think it’s ...

Dark energy is one of the greatest mysteries of the universe. This mysterious force is thought to be accelerating the expansion of the cosmos. But a new study challenges this long-held belief. A team ...

Fragments of energy may be the fundamental building blocks of the universe. The theory combines the ideas of particles and waves into a concentration of energy that flows throughout space and time.

Controversial research suggests the Big Bang may be a myth due to its reliance on the Doppler effect theory. This idea says the universe is neither expanding, nor contracting; instead it is steady, ...

In the search to understand how the universe came to be, a new theory is rewriting the script. Instead of one massive, fiery birth like the Big Bang, this idea suggests the cosmos has been growing in ...

Some scientists think quantum mechanics may be working in a lower-dimensional setting, giving us the illusion of our 3-dimensional universe. This idea changes the nature of our perceived reality, ...

For the study, the researchers used a series of computer models to simulate the beginning of the universe that challenge the longstanding theory that the universe began with a period of rapid ...

An artist's impression of how the very early universe (less than one billion years old) might have looked when it went through a voracious onset of star formation, converting primordial hydrogen into ...

A radical new theory regarding the origin of the universe suggests that gravitational waves, tiny ripples in spacetime first ...
