Black holes are mysterious objects, and one theory posits that our universe exists inside of one. It sounds strange, but ...

The universe is generally referred to as infinite, unknown, and limitless. With over 2 trillion galaxies and millions of stars and planets, the universe is so enormous that it stretches the boundaries ...

The Big Bang is often described as the explosive birth of the universe—a singular moment when space, time and matter sprang into existence. But what if this was not the beginning at all? What if our ...

The question of whether the cosmos goes on forever is no longer just a late night thought experiment, it is a live research problem that cuts to the heart of modern physics. Astrophysicists are using ...

The surface of Earth is finite. We can measure it. If it was expanding, then its size would grow with time. And once again, good ol' Earth helps us understand what the universe might be doing beyond ...

Mathematical quirks of our universe have led some cosmologists to wonder whether the cosmos was actually born in a black hole. Parallels in the physics of the universe and that of black holes have led ...

The following is an extract from our Lost in Space-Time newsletter. Each month, we hand over the keyboard to a physicist or mathematician to tell you about fascinating ideas from their corner of the ...

Cosmologists have an embarrassing problem: we don’t know what shape the universe is. The cosmos has three possible geometries—positively curved like a sphere, flat like an infinite plane or negatively ...
