A new three-volume study explores how quantum physics, gravitation and cosmology may be understood within a unified ...

The Universe is big, as Douglas Adams would say. The most distant light we can see is the cosmic microwave background (CMB), which has taken more than 13 billion years to reach us. This marks the edge ...

Researchers from the Flatiron Institute and collaborators have developed an innovative method that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to estimate the universe's cosmological parameters with ...

A new JCAP study tests an “emulator” to reconstruct the large-scale structure of the cosmos If you think a galaxy is big, compare it to the size of the Universe: it’s just a tiny dot which, together ...

A 2,000-page monograph series proposes a new conceptual framework connecting quantum physics, gravitation and cosmological evolution.

TACC's Frontera supercomputer helped astronomers develop PRIYA, the largest suite of hydrodynamic simulations yet made of large-scale structures in the universe. Example Lyman-α forest spectra from ...

Cosmologists are quietly confronting a possibility that would have sounded absurd a generation ago: the standard picture of a smooth, empty vacuum may be wrong unless space itself behaves like a ...

A few decades ago, astronomers realized they had a problem: They could not find enough matter in the universe to account for all the space in between stars and galaxies. The missing mass begged the ...
