The elusive Higgs particle has the power to undo physics as we know it. The fact that it hasn't could have big implications about the nature of the universe. When you purchase through links on our ...

The Hubble tension is one of the biggest mysteries in cosmology. It centers around the Hubble constant—the measurement of how fast our universe is expanding—which comes out as two different numbers ...

When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. An illustration shows a figurative representation of the cosmic web breaking apart in later eras ...

Currently, there are 100 trillion neutrinos flowing through you. Don’t worry though; they hardly interact with matter. In ...

New research suggests that dark energy isn't needed to explain the acceleration in the expansion of the universe — instead suggesting giant voids in space are creating an illusion. When you purchase ...

Was there ever any choice in the Universe being as it is? Albert Einstein could have been wondering about this when he remarked to mathematician Ernst Strauss: “What I’m really interested in is ...

Could our universe be expanding then shrinking back into a tiny point, reliving a kind of big bang over and over again? Probably not, according to a mathematical analysis that argues that the laws of ...

It appears that we live on the knife-edge, where only the narrowest combination of values for the fundamental constants allow life, and especially conscious life, to arise. The fundamental constants ...

Astronomy is, in essence, an exercise in inference. We cannot touch the stars, nor scoop up galaxies in a lab. Instead, we decipher the universe through its light — its color, intensity, rhythm and ...

Researchers have derived a formula for viral behavior in the Wild Cards, a science fiction series written by a collection of authors about an alien virus called the Wild Card that mutates human DNA.

"There are more questions than answers at this point." Dark energy could have an accomplice that helps it slow the growth of large cosmic structures, such as vast superclusters made up of clusters of ...
