The inflationary epoch that caused our universe to rapidly expand in its earliest moments may be connected to the modern era of dark energy, thanks to a phantom component of the cosmos that changes the strength of gravity as the universe evolves, a physicist proposes in a new paper.
This one’s a real head-scratcher.
Other patches in the multiverse would have, instead, met their ends.
Astronomers have discovered that gas and dust from different sources in our galaxy, and heavy elements within them, are less evenly distributed than previously believed. Because these are the raw materials for star formation, the finding could force scientists to redefine their understanding of how the Milky Way and other galaxies evolved.
The catch: We have to wait until about 2037 for an answer
Astronomers are getting some answers to an age-old question.
Space Mysteries: If we can find the answer, it may complete our understanding of space and time.
In their paper published in Frontiers of Physics, Franco Vazza (astrophysicist at the University of Bologna) and Alberto Feletti (neurosurgeon at the University of Verona) investigated the similarities between two of the most challenging and complex systems in nature: the cosmic network of galaxies and the network of neuronal cells in the human brain.
The universe is getting hotter, a new study has found.
