Mathematicians are challenging the idea that dark energy is responsible for the accelerating expansion of the universe. In a ...

Our best model of the cosmos has a glaring mathematical problem, but we may have found an answer.

The universe may not be perfectly uniform after all, a new series of papers hints. If confirmed, this could upend a nearly 100-year-old model of cosmology.

One of the most fundamental assumptions about our Universe may actually be incorrect, potentially reshaping humanity's entire ...

We know the age of humanity. We know how old Earth is. But the exact age of the universe is still a debatable topic. A new study in cosmology has opened new avenues for estimating it by using precise ...
