A 2,000-page monograph series proposes a new conceptual framework connecting quantum physics, gravitation and cosmological evolution.

Since its launch in 2001, the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) space mission has revolutionized our view of the universe, establishing a cosmological model that explains a widely diverse ...

Not that long ago, most serious scientists considered cosmology a branch of philosophy. But in recent decades, observations by the Hubble Space Telescope and probes of the microwave radiation left ...

Sometimes it seems like every year offers an occasion to celebrate some sort of Einstein anniversary. In 2015, everybody lauded the 100th anniversary of his general theory of relativity. Last year, ...

What are the mysterious dark matter and dark energy that seem to account for so much of our universe? Why is the universe expanding? For the past 30 years, most cosmologists have looked to the ...

For the past few years, a series of controversies have rocked the well-established field of cosmology. In a nutshell, the predictions of the standard model of the universe appear to be at odds with ...

What if the Universe were not symmetrical? This idea, which goes against what scientists have long believed, emerges from new studies on large cosmic structures. Instead of being uniform in ...
