Scientists from Brown University in the USA have proposed a solution to one of the biggest problems of modern physics related ...

Scientists have uncovered a surprising connection between quantum gravity and an exotic quantum state of matter that could ...

Teleology is the idea that some processes in nature are directed toward a goal or an end. Today, it is commonly asserted that teleology is a remnant of antiquated ways of thinking about causation, and ...

The expansion of the universe could be a mirage, a potentially controversial new study suggests. This rethinking of the cosmos also suggests solutions for the puzzles of dark energy and dark matter, ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
