Cosmology must seem odd to scientists in other fields. More and more accurate data about the distant Universe are being generated by high-tech observational techniques, giving rise to an era of ...

Given that we can only grasp the cosmic contents at the 5% (F-) level, it’s kind of ridiculous to think the standard model of cosmology is totally right. But how it could be wrong remains up in ...

The Atacama Cosmology Telescope could help resolve some cosmic discrepancies: How fast the universe is expanding and how evenly matter is distributed.

Right now, it looks like cosmology is at a tipping point. This has led to it gaining the reputation as the “concordance model”. But a perfect storm of inconsistent measurements – or ...

Don’t worry, there won’t be a quiz at the end. The team’s research indicated that a large portion of the LRDs in question existed between 600 million and 1.5 billion years after the Big Bang.

Cosmology in crisis. The new result leaves the answer wide open, splitting cosmologists into factions chasing staggeringly different solutions. Following the Hubble Space telescope result, ...

A new theory of quantum gravity, which attempts to unite quantum physics with Einstein's relativity, could help solve the puzzle of the universe's expansion, a theoretical paper suggests.

A giant arc of galaxies appears to stretch across more than 3 billion light-years in the distant universe. If the arc turns out to be real, it would challenge a bedrock assumption of cosmology ...

"Knowing which aspect of standard cosmology needs to be revised to solve the Hubble tension will be a big relief. Actually, solving it will need a deeper theory," Banik concluded.

A team of astrophysicists has detected so-called gravitational waves – predicted by Albert Einstein a century ago – which are the first tremors of the Big Bang when time and space began about ...
