The expansion of the universe is, in some ways, similar. But this analogy gets one thing wrong – while the dough expands into the baking pan, the universe doesn’t have anything to expand into.

NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center Astronomers have long understood that the universe is expanding—in other words, the space in between cosmic objects that aren’t bound by gravity is getting ...

The expansion of the universe is, in some ways, similar. But this analogy gets one thing wrong — while the dough expands into the baking pan, the universe doesn't have anything to expand into.

"The discrepancy between the observed expansion rate of the universe and the predictions of the standard model suggests that our understanding of the universe may be incomplete. " New observations ...

Seconds after the Big Bang, the Universe exhibited an astonishing simplicity. Observations reveal a spatially flat, radiation-dominated cosmos described by a Friedmann–Robertson–Walker (FRW ...

Physicists including Robert H. Dickle and Fred Hoyle have argued that we are living in a universe that is perfectly fine-tuned for life. Following the anthropic principle, they claimed that the ...

ODIN combines the principles of opto-mechanics with the properties of superfluid helium. While the former is the science of making optical devices, the latter is a unique phase of helium that ...

The findings call into question just how finely tuned our universe really is. Somewhere in the multiverse, there could be universes more predisposed to forming stars, and possibly life ...
