That is the provocative assertion behind Professor Ginestra Bianconi’s latest work, which reframes gravity as an emergent phenomenon arising from the interplay of spacetime geometry, quantum ...

Clocks might be far more fundamental to physics than we ever realized. A new theory suggests what we see around us – from the ...

Seen as a long strand with smaller threads branching, the Quipu superstructure contains 68 galaxy clusters spanning 1.4 ...

Scientists have come a step closer to understanding how collisionless shock waves—found throughout the universe—are able to accelerate particles to extreme speeds.

You could swim through the deepest voids and encounter a single hydrogen atom in an entire football field's worth of space.

New research suggests that dark energy isn't needed to explain the acceleration in the expansion of the universe — instead suggesting giant voids in space are creating an illusion.

“If this result stands, this is the most important finding about dark energy since the discovery of cosmic acceleration in 1998,” said astrophysicist Mustapha Ishak, a professor at the ...

When modeled this way, space-time naturally gives rise to cosmic acceleration, and what could be crucial evidence of string theory is the data that suggests the acceleration decreases over time ...

But just like you'd need a lot of buoys to measure, like, the whole sea, it seems that we need, like, a lot of supernovae to be able to prove anything about, like, cosmic acceleration. NORD: Yeah.

The standard assumption is that the cosmic acceleration rate is itself is at least constant, which will surely result in ultimate heat death of the universe. But a ...

I’ve worked on the question of cosmic acceleration for 25 years, and my perspective is, if the evidence continues to grow, and it is likely to, then this will be huge for cosmology and all of ...
