The universe could, in fact, be a giant doughnut, despite all of the evidence suggesting it's as flat as a pancake, new research suggests. Strange patterns found in echoes of the Big Bang could be ...

Most explanations rely on "dark energy" to explain the Universe's accelerating expansion rate, but a new study takes a different path.

I've long been fascinated by the fundamental mystery of our universe's origin. In my work, I explore an alternative to the ...

The universe's geometry can be classified as flat, closed (positive curvature), or open (negative curvature), determined by its density and expansion rate. Current cosmological models, primarily the ...

So while the measurement is consistent with a flat universe, it is possible that the universe is closed and finite. However, the constraints are tight and if the universe is finite it must be very, ...

TORONTO, ON – NASA’s Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) has transformed the science of cosmology by establishing the age, geometry and contents of the universe with astonishing precision – an ...

The Universe is expanding, and goes on for farther than even our most powerful telescopes can see. The part of it that we can see, scientists have long concluded, is indistinguishable from being ...

The universe could, in fact, be a giant doughnut, despite all of the evidence suggesting it's as flat as a pancake, new research suggests. All observations so far suggest the universe is flat. In ...
