A new physics paper takes a step toward creating a long-sought "theory of everything" by uniting gravity with the quantum ...

Astrophysicists have proposed a new theoretical maximum lifespan for the universe, which suggests that dead stars are ...

"This shocking result means that we now need to revisit the very foundations of everything we know about cosmology," said the reseachers.

A long-elusive "theory of everything" may finally be within reach as Finnish researchers unveil a new quantum theory of ...

Astronomers have developed a computer simulation to explore, in unprecedented detail, magnetism and turbulence in the ...

We have long taken it for granted that gravity is one of the basic forces of nature – one of the invisible threads that keeps ...

The most recent measurement of a nearby galaxy cluster is deepening a disagreement about how fast the universe is expanding — ...

The universe is decaying much faster than thought. This is shown by calculations of scientists on the so-called Hawking radiation. They calculate that the last stellar remnants take about 10^78 years ...

The team calculated how long it would take for a neutron star to 'evaporate' via a process akin to Hawking radiation.

This scenario is sometimes called the “heat death” or the “big freeze”, and it’s a straightforward consequence of our best working theory for how the universe behaves. But if you asked ...

Our understanding of who we are, our place in the world, and the very nature of our being is an intricate tapestry woven from ...
