Why the universe might be a hologram
A quarter century ago, physicist Juan Maldacena proposed the AdS/CFT correspondence, an intriguing holographic connection between gravity in a three-dimensional universe and quantum physics on the universe's two-dimensional boundary. This corresponde.....»»
Jaw-dropping Webb photo reveals how the universe turned its lights on
Scientists used the James Webb Space Telescope to view some of the earliest galaxies in the universe, revealing how these objects may have cleared cosmic gas and ended the Dark Ages. The universe was once stuck in the Dark Ages.It was time when.....»»
How "the strong force" influences the gravitational wave background
Gravitationally speaking, the universe is a noisy place. A hodgepodge of gravitational waves from unknown sources streams unpredictably around space, including possibly from the early universe......»»
A black hole discovery could force us to rethink how galaxies came to be
Peering deep into the infancy of the universe, the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope (VLT) recently confirmed the discovery of the brightest and fastest growing quasar. Quasars are luminous objects in the night sky powered by gas f.....»»
Webb finds dwarf galaxies reionized the universe
Using the unprecedented capabilities of the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope, an international team of scientists has obtained the first spectroscopic observations of the faintest galaxies during the first billion years of the universe. These.....»»
New measurement captures clearer picture of our galaxy and beyond
With unique capabilities to track microwave energy fluctuations, a small observatory in the Andes mountains of northern Chile produced maps of 75% of the sky as part of an effort to measure the universe's origin and evolution more accurately......»»
Astronomers detect an extremely red supermassive black hole in the early universe growing in the shadows
Analyzing images from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), a group of astronomers led by Dr. Lukas Furtak and Prof. Adi Zitrin from Ben-Gurion University of the Negev has detected an extremely red, gravitationally lensed supermassive black hole in.....»»
All Stellaris cheats and console commands
The universe is an unrelenting force to build an empire in when playing Stellaris. Give yourself the edge in galactic conquest with these cheats and commands......»»
Solar physics: Why study it? What can it teach us about finding life beyond Earth?
Universe Today has investigated the importance of studying impact craters, planetary surfaces, exoplanets, and astrobiology, and what these disciplines can teach both researchers and the public about finding life beyond Earth. Here, we will discuss t.....»»
Scientists closer to finding quantum gravity theory after measuring gravity on microscopic level
Scientists are a step closer to unraveling the mysterious forces of the universe after working out how to measure gravity on a microscopic level......»»
Astronomers observe the effect of dark matter on the evolution of the galaxies
Dark matter comprises around 85% of all the matter in the universe. Although ordinary matter absorbs, reflects and emits light, dark matter cannot be seen directly, which makes its detection difficult. Its existence is inferred from its gravitational.....»»
Cate Blanchett nails the outlaw look as Lilith in Borderlands official trailer
Welcome to the "weirdest, most dangerous, dumpster fire of a world in the universe." Cate Blanchett stars as an infamous outlaw named Lilith in director Eli Roth's Borderlands, adapted from the popular gaming franchise. The Borderla.....»»
JWST sees a Milky Way-like galaxy coming together in the early universe
The gigantic galaxies we see in the universe today, including our own Milky Way galaxy, started out far smaller. Mergers throughout the universe's 13.7 billion years gradually assembled today's massive galaxies. But they may have begun as mere star c.....»»
Nightmare black hole is the brightest object in the universe
A monster black hole has been discovered, and it devours the equivalent mass of our sun every single day......»»
Quantum dark states lead to an advantage in noise reduction
While atomic clocks are already the most precise timekeeping devices in the universe, physicists are working hard to improve their accuracy even further. One way is by leveraging spin-squeezed states in clock atoms......»»
With Madame Web bombing, it’s time to ask: Who wants a Spider-Verse without Spider-Man?
Madame Web is the latest Sony superhero movie to flop — and further proof that building a Spider-Movie movie universe without Spider-Man was a mistake......»»
Even if we can"t see the first stars, we could detect their impact on the first galaxies
For a long time, our understanding of the universe's first galaxies leaned heavily on theory. The light from that age only reached us after traveling for billions of years, and on the way, it was obscured and stretched into the infrared. Clues about.....»»
CERN researchers measure speed of sound in the quark–gluon plasma more precisely than ever before
Neutron stars in the universe, ultracold atomic gases in the laboratory, and the quark–gluon plasma created in collisions of atomic nuclei at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC): they may seem totally unrelated but, surprisingly enough, they have somet.....»»
Madame Web’s ending, explained
Now that Madame Web has swung into theaters, let's break down the ending and what it means for Sony's Spider-Man Universe......»»
eROSITA X-ray sky survey measurements show consistency with the cosmic microwave background
The analysis of how galaxy clusters, the largest objects in the universe, evolve over cosmic time has yielded precise measurements of the total matter content and its clumpiness, report scientists of the German eROSITA consortium, led by the Max Plan.....»»
Discovery of unexpected ultramassive galaxies may not rewrite cosmology, but still leaves questions
Ever since the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) captured its first glimpse of the early universe, astronomers have been surprised by the presence of what appear to be more "ultramassive" galaxies than expected. Based on the most widely accepted cosm.....»»
