The shape of the universe is not something we often think about. My colleagues and I have published a new study that suggests it could be asymmetric or lopsided, meaning not the same in every ...

Scientists are testing a novel way to measure cosmic expansion using time delays in gravitationally lensed quasars. Their results match “local” measurements but clash with early-universe estimates, ...

Using CERN’s Super Proton Synchrotron, researchers generated plasma fireballs to simulate blazar jets. The beams stayed stable, suggesting plasma instabilities aren’t responsible for missing gamma ...

Very early dark energy (vEDE) may have accelerated the universe’s expansion just 380,000 years after the Big Bang, according to newly published research. This proposed form of dark energy would have ...

ABSTRACT: We present how the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy of a growing black hole variant of R h =ct cosmology model can be re-written as a function of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) radiation ...

ABSTRACT: A new concept, relativistic time dilation adjusted Effective Age of the Universe (EAoU), is introduced and is estimated at ~45 Gyr in comparison to the widely accepted 13.79 Gyr based on the ...

The universe is expected to look roughly the same in every direction, but a stubborn and consistent streak pattern identified by astronomers isn’t playing by those rules. A new look at radio maps of ...
