The fundamental nature of living things challenges assumptions that physicists have held for centuries.

The Dark Forest theory is one proposed solution to the famed Fermi Paradox, which has bewitched astronomers for more than half a century. To put it concisely, the paradox asks if the cosmos is nearly ...

For more than a century, physicists have been trying to reconcile the smooth geometry of gravity with the jittery ...

The whirling structure, located 140 million light-years from Earth, is a long, threadlike string of gas that's about 5.5 million light-years long and 117,000 light-years wide — wider than our Milky ...

ABSTRACT: In this paper, we discuss the possibility that black holes can indirectly and directly produce dark matter. As well as the possibility that neutron stars and hypothetical quark and boson ...

For more than a century, physicists have suspected that the familiar three dimensions of space might be only a small slice of reality. The idea that the universe could be hiding several additional ...

There's been a theory making the rounds that connects Vince Gilligan's Apple TV show to his award-winning crime franchise. it's pretty common for filmmakers and showrunners to have a pool of actors ...

The surface of Earth is finite. We can measure it. If it was expanding, then its size would grow with time. And once again, good ol' Earth helps us understand what the universe might be doing beyond ...

An expanding universe complicates this picture just a little bit, because the universe absolutely refuses to be straightforward. Objects are still emitting light, and that light takes time to travel ...

The universe’s expansion might not be accelerating but slowing down, a new study suggests. If confirmed, the finding would upend decades of established astronomical assumptions and rewrite our ...
