This week, researchers published LIGO findings that hint at the existence of second-generation black holes. Astronomers ...

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

Its mind-boggling complexity is probably a factor in why quantum has ended up with a lower profile than tech's current ...

The Big Bang theory has dominated our understanding of the universe’s origin for almost 100 years. It describes a moment when ...

For several decades, evidence has suggested that the expansion of the universe is accelerating. Crucial to those estimates were the use of standard candles, celestial events of the same luminosity ...

In a new, detailed breakdown of current theory, a team of physicists led by Mir Faizal of the University of British Columbia ...

The uncertainty inherent to quantum mechanics has long left physicists wondering whether the observations we make on the ...

A mathematical model suggests that when a pair of black holes gets quantum entangled, this can give rise to a lumpy ...

Advanced simulations have been the subject of fiction from The Matrix to the season two episode of The Twilight Zone (2019), ...

Even though we can explore the universe with great precision, there is still a lot we don't know, according to Ulf Danielsson ...

It's a plot device beloved by science fiction: our entire universe might be a simulation running on some advanced ...

It is widely accepted that the universe is expanding at an accelerating rate, but now researchers say our measurements of the ...
