A new theory suggests the universe’s greatest secrets are hiding in a “zeptouniverse” that’s ready to be explored—without ...

Cosmology and quantum physics both offer tantalizing possibilities that we inhabit just one reality among many. But testing that idea is challenging.

If true, the idea would blow past one of physics’ most sacred limits: that parallel versions of reality can never talk to ...

To reach this conclusion, the researchers examined the most basic form of entanglement between identical particles using the concept of nonlocality introduced by physicist John Bell. While ...

"We have long treated the Planck scale like a blurry limit," said Kulkarni. "But if you treat space as an information storage medium, geometry dictates a specific packing efficiency. The universe has ...

Neutrino particles have extremely small masses, yet there are so many of them that they carve out the large-scale structure ...

The brightest quasar ever seen in the young cosmos is powered by a black hole that appears to be breaking the universe’s own ...

The multiverse suggests that our universe may not be unique, but just one of countless others existing beyond our observable reality. Some versions arise naturally from inflation theory and quantum ...

Physicists suggest that a single, extraordinarily powerful cosmic signal detected on Earth could be linked to the explosive end of a tiny black hole from the early universe. That signal now stands as ...

So cosmologists feel confident in modelling the universe using the “maximally symmetric” description of space-time in Einstein’s theory of general relativity. This symmetric vision for the universe, ...
