Let's rewind the clock back…oh, I don't know, let's say a hundred years. It was 1917, and Einstein had just developed his general theory of relativity. It was a masterpiece, giving us our modern-day ...

At the turn of the century, it sounded as if string theory could give us big answers about the universe. Well… has it? String theorists, this one may be for you. The theorized object warps spacetime ...

ABSTRACT: His article presents an extension of the Dead Universe Theory (DUT), introducing two original conceptual frameworks: asymmetric thermodynamic retraction and the foundations of cosmic ...

The Nature Index 2025 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...

Astronomers have discovered a rare group of five dwarf galaxies located relatively close to Earth; these galaxies exist in a near-perfect alignment, resembling a string of cosmic pearls in the sky.

ABSTRACT: In this paper, we will demonstrate that there is a link between cosmology and the Planck scale. It has, in recent years, been shown that the Planck length can be determined independently of ...

Andreea Font receives funding from Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC). For the past few years, a series of controversies have rocked the well-established field of cosmology. In a ...

If you’ve ever looked up at the night sky and felt a sense of awe at the enormity and mystery of the universe, you’re not alone. We humans are curious animals, but understandably focused on our day-to ...

Recently it has been shown that string gas cosmology, an alternative model of the very early universe which does not involve a period of cosmological inflation, can give rise to an almost scale ...

Scalar-tensor theories have shown promise in many sectors of cosmology. However, recent constraints from the speed of gravitational waves have put severe limits on the breadth of models such classes ...
