Steve Jobs, the visionary cofounder of Apple, shaped the personal computer era. He pursued a life of purpose, aiming to make ...

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 ...

Is the universe infinite? It's one of the most profound questions we can ask, and here's the short answer: We don't know. While we have learned a great deal about the universe, a portion of the cosmos ...

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 ...

New research from UBC Okanagan mathematically demonstrates that the universe cannot be simulated. Using Gödel’s incompleteness theorem, scientists found that reality requires “non-algorithmic ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: A new paper adjusts an equation that defines our universe in response to recent new data. The cosmological constant, which describes how our universe ...

It is widely thought that our universe is expanding at an ever-accelerating rate. But could we have that wrong? That is what a group of scientists from South Korea claims, but other scientists have ...

The universe's expansion may actually have started to slow rather than accelerating at an ever-increasing rate as previously thought, a new study suggests. "Remarkable" findings published today in ...

For at least two decades, astronomers have mostly agreed that the universe is around 13.7 billion years old. But the ages of super-old stars and the masses of early galaxies provide compelling ...

The interactive online map, created using data from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope, details some 800,000 galaxies across a vast cosmic distance. Scrolling and zooming in can take users some 13.5 ...

In 2022 three scientists won the Nobel Prize in Physics for proving something astonishing: the universe is not locally real. In other words, particles don’t have fixed properties until they are ...
