A recent study published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters has provided the most precise distance to the Coma Cluster of galaxies yet - and also has deepened a crisis in cosmology. The problem is ...

Black holes are mysterious objects, and one theory posits that our universe exists inside of one. It sounds strange, but ...

Most current models of the Big Bang rely on general relativity along with additional elements that are introduced to make the theory fit observations. In contrast, this new framework provides a more ...

Did The universe really begin with a bang, a bounce? The theory that the universe is both possibly having endured a sudden contraction and then bounced into the expanding universe we know today is not ...
