Physicists are scrambling to understand why dark energy is weakening. In a surprising twist, we must now reconsider the ...

A closer look at the Lambda Cold Dark Matter model, its core components, supporting evidence, and why new observations are ...

Recent observations create a puzzle for astrophysicists: since the big bang, less galaxy clusters have formed over time than was actually expected. Physicists from the university of Bonn have now ...

Last year, our most detailed map of the universe yet suggested our understanding of dark energy has been wrong for decades. The shock result is reigniting the search for a better cosmic story ...

For decades, the prevailing cosmological model has placed dark matter and dark energy at the center of our understanding of the universe’s structure and evolution. These invisible components were ...

For decades, the cosmological field was working under the assumption that, after the universe began in a hot dense soup of energy that expanded in the Big Bang, it continued to expand, forming the ...

A theory that unites quantum mechanics and general relativity claims that there was no first moment in time, but it still agrees with the predictions of classical cosmology. It's in the stars One of ...

This release is available in German. As modern cosmologists rely more and more on the ominous "dark matter" to explain otherwise inexplicable observations, much effort has gone into the detection of ...
