It makes up most of the universe, yet hardly anything is known about the so-called Dark Energy that envelopes us. The unusual 'something' – one of the great mysteries of cosmology – is believed to be an unknown force that is pushing things …
Sir Roger Penrose thinks that our universe has undergone numerous Big Bangs, with more to come. Sir Roger Penrose, a mathematician and physicist from the University of Oxford who recently shared this year's Nobel Prize in physics, says that ou…
Sean Carroll is a physicist at Caltech. His research includes theoretical physics and astrophysics, especially cosmology, field theory, and gravitation. He has published several research papers dark matter and dark energy, modified gravity, vio…
Because our universe is so huge, it appears that nothing else could exist. Experts believe we may be in a 4-dimensional black hole. Our universe began at the singularity, an infinitely hot and dense point in space. According to CERN experts like …
What exactly is consciousness and how it is generated? How and why it exists and what’s the ultimate cause of consciousness? These are some major question that scientists are looking for their answers. In today’s world the mystery of consc…
A Group of researchers have made what may turn out to be the most significant discovery in HISTORY – how the cosmos came into being from nothing. The immense question has concerned religions, philosophers and researchers since the dawn of time …
So, you think you know the Milky Way? Well you don't. This new Milky Way map from NASA displays the exo-planets we've discovered so far, counting the newly confirmed exoplanet 13,000 light years away from Earth, catchily-named OGLE-201…
A group of physicists have delivered what has been defined by the journal Nature as the “ clearest evidence yet ” that our universe nothing but just a hologram. The new study could help settle one of modern physics’ most persistent problems:…
Nothing is standing or stationary. As you are reading this, the Earth spins around its own axis; it revolves around the sun, the sun is moving through space at a stunning 792,000 km/h around the gigantic center, and our universe is moving at a min…
In all the planets of our home galaxy, humankind happens to discover itself on a planet that is perfectly suitable for life. Earth isn't without its dangers, however. Earth has seen five massive extinctions throughout its history , due t…
When a massive star consumes its fuel, its core ends starts collapsing into a thick object and drives the remaining gas outward in a beautiful event known as supernova. What’s left is generally black holes or neutron stars. And at the moment, Hubb…
On February 24, 1987, something unusual happened as astronomers Oscar Dhalde and Ian Shelton observed an unbelievable picture sitting on the top of a Chilean mountain: a new star in the night sky. That is something not happened frequently. Ne…
We don't come across papers that aim to alter reality every day. However, in a preprint sent to arXiv this summer, Vitaly Vanchurin, a physics professor at the University of Minnesota Duluth, attempts to reframe reality in a particularly eye-…
Scientists have uncovered a ' aqua planet ' that resembles Kevin Costner's post-apocalyptic action thriller Waterworld from 1995. They claim the world, which is 100 light-years away, is totally covered in water, comparable to some of …
