Scientists have found that the universe exists because it began with a slight imbalance between matter and antimatter.

Researchers from around the world have sought to answer important questions about the most basic laws of physics that govern our universe. Their experiment, the Majorana Demonstrator, has helped to ...

The fundamental constants of nature seem perfectly tuned to allow life to exist. If they were even a little bit different, we simply wouldn't be here. Given this grave existential fact, we are forced ...

JERUSALEM, Sept. 4 (Xinhua) -- A new study has found that most massive stars in the early universe formed as binary systems, meaning they were born in pairs, similar to the way many massive stars form ...

These innovative designs enable China to conduct cutting-edge neutrino physics research in an extremely low background ...

This week, this enormous scientific facility, ten years in the making, will begin its hunt for the most elusive particles in ...

The universe is expanding faster and faster, but not all scientists agree that dark energy is the cause. Perhaps, instead, our universe keeps colliding with and absorbing smaller 'baby universes,' a ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — In trying to understand the nature of the cosmos, some theorists propose that the universe expands and contracts in endless cycles. Because this behavior is hypothesized to be ...

What lies beyond all we can see? The question may seem unanswerable. Nevertheless, some cosmologists have a response: Our universe is a swelling bubble. Outside it, more bubble universes exist, all ...

In some interpretations of quantum mechanics, such as the Many-Worlds interpretation or the Pilot Wave Theory, parallel universes may form every time a subatomic particle goes through any interaction.

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. The Universe is out there, waiting for you to discover it. The theory of cosmic inflation predicts a multiverse: an enormous ...
