Cyclic cosmology, or the big bounce, is the idea that the universe will eventually crunch back together and then go through another big bang. Columnist Leah Crane finds that, appropriately, it’s ...
Cosmology grapples with the nature of the entire universe, seeking to understand its origins and its ultimate fate. Cosmologists study the mysteries of dark matter, dark energy and even the nature ...
Space A crisis in cosmology may mean hidden dimensions really exist Physicists are scrambling to understand why dark energy is weakening. In a surprising twist, we must now reconsider the ...
With the results, the DESI collaboration sent ripples through the cosmology community. Dark energy, a mysterious force pushing the universe apart, might not be the constant we long thought it was.
Crisis in cosmology: If we’ve got dark energy wrong, what could it be ...
Columnist and Space Cosmology’s Great Debate began a century ago – and is still going Our understanding of the true nature of the cosmos relies on measurements of its expansion, but ...
The cosmological constant was reinstated, albeit rebadged as dark energy. And this, essentially, is the current standard model of cosmology, known as lambda-CDM.
A strange new conception of how time warps across the universe does away with cosmology's most mysterious entity, dark energy
JIM PEEBLES is widely known as the architect of modern cosmology – and its nice-guy-in-chief. Awarding his half-share of the 2019 Nobel prize for physics, the committee said he “took on the ...
‘Shocking’ results from a major astronomical study have raised doubts about the standard model of cosmology, forcing scientists to consider new ways of understanding dark energy and gravity
