Research by the Atacama Cosmology Telescope collaboration has culminated in a groundbreaking new image that reveals the most detailed map of dark matter distributed across a quarter of the entire sky, ...

The far distant fates of the Universe offer a number of possibilities, but if dark energy is truly a constant, as the data indicates, it will continue to follow the red curve, leading to the long-term ...

A new study links the universe’s expansion to quantum topology, suggesting that hidden mathematical structures may stabilize ...

Einstein’s equations of general relativity were a wellspring from which our current view of the cosmos has flowed. That the theory continues to supply so many rich questions is part of what makes it ...

The Einstein–Gauss–Bonnet framework extends Einstein’s theory of General Relativity by including a higher-order curvature term that gains dynamical relevance in dimensions beyond four. This approach ...

Let's rewind the clock back…oh, I don't know, let's say a hundred years. It was 1917, and Einstein had just developed his general theory of relativity. It was a masterpiece, giving us our modern-day ...

From Newton’s apple to Einstein’s spacetime, gravity has been tested on scales from sub-millimeter experiments to galaxy clusters millions of light-years apart. Recent studies confirm its laws hold ...

This week, an international team of more than 160 astronomers working with the Atacama Cosmology Telescope released three preprint papers submitted to The Astrophysical Journal unveiling the most ...

LONG ago, people thought that empty space was just what it sounds like: a featureless void. But the more we have studied seeming emptiness, the more we have shown that this is far from the truth. The ...

Scientists know very little about the mysterious force dubbed “Dark Energy” that seems to be quickening the expansion of the universe but, according to LSU Physics and Astronomy Associate Professor ...
