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

Dark-energy evidence suggests the universe will end in a “big crunch” roughly 20 billion years from now. The universe is nearing the halfway point of what may be a 33-billion-year lifespan, according ...

According to Dr. Mir Faizal, Adjunct Professor at UBC Okanagan’s Irving K. Barber Faculty of Science, and his international ...

If recent discoveries that dark energy is evolving hold any water, our Universe will collapse under its own gravity on a ...

If it is a galaxy, it would be the oldest known galaxy in the cosmos, but it could also be a brown dwarf or an early black hole.

Dark energy and black holes are two of the most mysterious topics when it comes to space, but they might actually be linked. And causing the universe to expand.

The universe could end in a Big Crunch, where gravity reverses expansion, heating everything to thousands of degrees before collapsing all matter into a single point.

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

For two decades, scientists believed the cosmological constant, known as λ (lambda), was positive. That meant the Universe would keep expanding indefinitely.

According to the equations that govern black holes, the larger one of these cosmic behemoths is the lower its average density – given that the universe contains a lot of relatively empty space, could ...

In 1867, Lord Kelvin imagined atoms as knots in the aether. The idea was soon disproven. Atoms turned out to be something ...

Japanese physicists have revived Kelvin’s old idea of cosmic knots, showing how these tangled fields might explain why matter ...
