From Fundamental Concepts to Dynamical Mechanisms, by Wolfgang Bietenholz and Uwe-Jens Wiese, Cambridge University Press.

For decades, it was assumed that the expansion of the universe was accelerating—a theory that won the Nobel Prize. Now, ...

Researchers at CERN may be on the verge of explaining the universe’s missing gamma rays and hidden magnetic fields.

Physicists show knotted cosmic strings may have dominated the early universe before collapsing to create matter—a theory ...

On July 4, 2012, researchers at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Switzerland announced with great fanfare that they had ...

Such an exponential expansion may seem minor, but it is equivalent to a grape in the palm of your hand swelling to become ...

Theorists have found that a “warm” version of cosmic inflation is consistent with known physics, linking it to the hunt for ...

The study seeks to explain the presence of dark matter using a WED model. The scientists studied fermion masses, which they believe could be communicated into the fifth dimension through portals, ...

In the quest to unravel the mysteries of the universe, physicists are revisiting a 150-year-old theory that could illuminate why matter prevails over antimatter. This knot hypothesis, originally ...

A long-dismissed theory involving "cosmic knots" could help explain the origins of neutrino masses, dark matter, and other ...

How did the universe come into being? There are a multitude of theories on this subject. In a Physical Review Letters paper, three scientists formulate a new model: according to this, inflation, the ...
