Teleology is the idea that some processes in nature are directed toward a goal or an end. Today, it is commonly asserted that ...

The Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT) collaboration, which includes researchers from the University of Toronto, recently ...

The use of a quantum potential in place of cosmic curvature, he said, allows for a rapid expansion phase early in the universe that would explain the flatness and uniformity we see in the universe ...

Here’s how it works. New results from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) suggest that the unknown force accelerating the expansion of the universe isn't what we believed it to be.

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or ...

by measuring the speed of the universe's expansion. The ACT image shows that the universe was expanding by 67 to 68 kilometres per second per Megaparsec 380,000 years after the Big Bang.

Dark energy is a term scientists use to describe an energy or force that accelerates the expansion of the universe. But — although it represents 70% of the energy in the cosmos — researchers ...

An international group of more than 900 researchers studying the expansion of the universe presented their findings on Wednesday during the American Physical Society’s Global Physics Summit in ...

If the observations from the James Webb Telescope are influenced by the Milky Way’s rotation speed, astronomers may be forced to rethink their models of how the expansion of the universe is measured.
