Scientists Provide a Theory on How the Universe Became Filled with Light
After observing a nearby galaxy from which ultraviolet light is escaping, astronomers hypothesize that black holes may have punctured darkened galaxies and allowed light to…

New research from the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics suggests that oscillating heavy particles generated “clocks” in the primordial universe that could be used to determine…
In a newly published study, astronomers measured the emission from ionized carbon in seventeen young galaxies, revealing a good measure of the rate of star…
A newly published study details how the spacetime curvature provided the stability needed for the universe to survive after the Big Bang. Studies of the…
In a newly published study, physicists propose that the Higgs boson, which was recently confirmed to be the origin of mass, may also be responsible…
New research from theoretical physicists at the Perimeter Institute proposes that our universe may have emerged from a black hole in a higher-dimensional universe. The…
By comparing the predictions of state-of-the-art supercomputer simulations with the results of sophisticated statistical analyses of the cosmic background radiation, two independent studies are challenging…
Using ultracold cesium atoms in a vacuum chamber, scientists have successfully simulated the evolution of the early universe. Physicists have reproduced a pattern resembling the…
Using cosmic microwave background radiation data from Planck and WMAP9, researchers look back through time at the first 100 years to 300,000 years after the…
Using Keck observations of ancient stars and models of their atmospheres, researchers have shown that there is no conflict between their lithium-6 and lithium-7 content…
While it’s a well-known fact that there’s an upcoming Andromeda-Milky Way collision in 3 to 5 billion years, Stephen Hawking has stated that we should…
A temperature not seen since the first microsecond of the birth of the universe has been recreated by scientists, and they discovered that the event…
