Theoretical physicists and cosmologists deal with the biggest questions, like “Why are we here?” “When did the universe begin?” and “How?” Another questions that bugs them, and likely has bugged you…
A group of researchers have built the world's largest simulation of the universe , containing around 25 billion virtual galaxies. The simulation could help in the search for mysterious dark matte…
On a YouTube channel Big Think, Dr. Michio Kaku takes a moment to discuss the death of the universe, how long we have, and how we might be able to hitch a ride into a neighboring, parallel universe. …
“Yes there have been crashed craft, and bodies recovered. . . . We are not alone in the universe; they have been coming here for a long time. . . . I happen to be privileged enough to be in on the fa…
With the help of the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, a German-led group of astronomers have observed the intriguing characteristics of an unusual type of object in the asteroid belt between Mars and…
In what appears to be a revolutionary cosmic observation, astronomers have reportedly detected a signal from the first stars of the universe. According to reports, the discovery has given researchers…
Space is steeped in mystery, and that very thought alone has made scientists determined to break through some of the biggest questions of all. Yet finding solutions to some only make more what-ifs ar…
Theoretical physicist Lawrence Krauss clarifies how, over the last hundred or so years, trying to pin down the reality of nothingness has become astonishingly complicated. You know, the Biblical void…
Typically, one imagines a black hole as sort of a gigantic cosmic pit that sucks in everything around it. But physicists say a new kind of space structure is possible that allows some information to …
The Hubble Space Telescope has been used to measure the phenomenon first observed by the astronomer after which it was named: the expansion of the universe. It is the most precise measurement of the …
The Sun, Earth, and the entire solar system also are in motion, orbiting the center of the Milky Way at a blazing 140 miles a second. Even at this great speed, though, our planetary neighborhood stil…
Outer space is full of mysteries, but this video is here (below) to clear up some of the wider known misconceptions, bringing you the truth about the final frontier. What would you do if we told you …
Black holes are vast, matter-annihilating objects that seem to defy physics by their very existence. They're so weird, that when Albert Einstein's equations first predicted the existence of …
This new discovery challenges our current cosmological model and understanding of the universe. “…this might be taken as the first evidence for the multiverse – and billions of other universes may ex…
Fifty years ago, scientists discovered that the Earth is occasionally hit by cosmic rays of enormous energies. Since then, they have argued about the source of those ultra-high energy cosmic rays -- …
