When you peer out into the depths of the cosmos, a mystery lies there, waiting. In a survey of the deep sky, most of the galaxies are seen rotating in the same direction. This is a problem. Under ...

Earth rotates, the Sun rotates, the Milky Way rotates – and a new model suggests the entire Universe could be rotating. If confirmed, it could ease a significant tension in cosmology. So for a new ...

The idea that we might be living in a simulated reality has worried us for centuries. Now physicists have found some ...

As theoretical physics delves deeper into the fundamental nature of reality, we’re left to grapple with the questions it leaves us. For example, some physicists claim that our universe is merely an ...

Astronomers used artificial intelligence to calculate the five cosmological parameters that describe the entire universe in computer simulations with unprecedented precision. When you purchase through ...

Black holes are infamous for their immense gravity — they can swallow stars, planets and even other black holes. But could a black hole consume the entire universe, piece by piece? In short, no. There ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Mathematical evidence indicates that our universe is flat, but it could be infinitely big, as well. You can figure out if an object is flat with a ...

A RECENT GROUNDBREAKING EXPERIMENT in which anesthesia was administered to rats has convinced scientists that tiny structures in the rodents’ brains are responsible for the experience of consciousness ...
