In a continuous pursuit to understand the fundamental laws that govern the universe, researchers have ventured deep into the realms of string theory, loop quantum gravity, and quantum geometry. These ...

Physicist Sean Carroll explores some of the deepest mysteries in quantum mechanics: the famous double-slit experiment, wave ...

A nuclear engineer reacts to Kurzgesagt's exploration of the infinite universe paradox, breaking down the science, cosmology, ...

In a study published earlier this month in the Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics, cosmologists trained an AI neural network on simulations of ΛCDM—the standard model of cosmology ...

For the past few years, a series of controversies have rocked the well-established field of cosmology. In a nutshell, the predictions of the standard model of the universe appear to be at odds with ...

Cosmologists face a dilemma. The rise of quantitative cosmology, exemplified by the release of new data in March on the cosmic microwave background from the WMAP satellite (see pp16-19; print version ...

A theory that unites quantum mechanics and general relativity claims that there was no first moment in time, but it still agrees with the predictions of classical cosmology. It's in the stars One of ...

The 2019 Nobel Prize in Physics goes to James Peebles “for theoretical discoveries in physical cosmology” and to Michel Mayor and Didier Queloz “for the discovery of an exoplanet orbiting a solar-type ...
