Very early dark energy (vEDE) may have accelerated the universe’s expansion just 380,000 years after the Big Bang, new ...

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

Such an exponential expansion may seem minor, but it is equivalent to a grape in the palm of your hand swelling to become ...

So much happened in the earliest moments of the universe. Elementary particles appeared, the first nuclei of hydrogen and ...

In this video, we explore the origins of the first atom, tracing back to the big bang, where immense energy condensed to form ...

Our humble blue planet came into being with the Big Bang — the sudden expansion of the universe outwards. Now, according to astrophysicists and cosmologists, Earth and all of its celestial siblings ...

Rice University researchers have captured the temperature profile of quark-gluon plasma, the ultra-hot state of matter from ...

Theorists have found that a “warm” version of cosmic inflation is consistent with known physics, linking it to the hunt for ...

The combination gives rise to new possible cosmologies in which the universe, say, five seconds before the big bang expanded at the same pace as it did five seconds after the bang. But the rate of ...

Our universe may have been born in a gravitational crunch that formed a very massive black hole—followed by a bounce inside it. The Big Bang is often described as the explosive birth of the universe—a ...

Who Banged the Big Bang! reinterprets the Big Bang theory not only as the birth of the universe but as a profound metaphor ...
