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

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 ...

Forget one Big Bang — try many. A bold new theory pokes holes in the popular origin story, suggesting the universe evolves through a series of lightning-fast bursts, rewriting what we know about ...

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, ...

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 ...

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

The largest-ever 3D map of the cosmos hints that the dark energy that’s fueling the universe’s expansion may be weakening. One community of theoretical physicists expected as much. On the morning of ...

The cosmological constant, which explains how and why the universe is expanding, has been previously described by astrophysicists as “the worst prediction in the history of physics” due to its ...
