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 ...

Tinkering at their desks with the mathematics of quantum space and time, physicists have discovered a puzzling conundrum. The arcane rules of quantum theory and gravity let them imagine many different ...

Scientists have long held that the universe is expanding at an ever-increasing rate, driven by a mysterious but measurable force known as dark energy. Now, a new study might upend that idea, ...

Astronomers using the James Webb telescope may have discovered some of the universe's first stars, and they may offer clues to how galaxies form. Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and a ...

Rest assured that as everything seems to be falling apart on Earth, it also appears that the rest of the universe is on a downward trajectory, too. In new research that gauged several vital signs of ...

However, not everybody agrees with this widely accepted scientific consensus. In a controversial new paper, published in the journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, a team led by ...
