The universe — everything in existence — is expanding every second! It's only been about a hundred years that humanity has known this, too — that most galaxies are traveling away from us and the ...

Dark energy, a mysterious force that scientists believe is behind the accelerated expansion of the universe, is weakening — which could result in the universe over the course of billions of years ...

A new study by physicists predicts that the universe could one day collapse in a reverse Big Bang, offering fresh insight into how it might all end.

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 ...

New theoretical research suggests that a mysterious form of matter called "unparticles" could be the driving force behind the expansion of the universe. When you purchase through links on our site, we ...

Results from the telescope could help to end a long-standing disagreement over the rate of cosmic expansion. But scientists say more measurements are needed. Cosmology seems to be heading for a ...

An unorthodox explanation for dark energy fits with cosmological observations and better matches known properties of neutrinos than previous models do, calculations have shown 1. Physicists discovered ...

WASHINGTON, March 19 (Reuters) - New data involving millions of galaxies and luminous galactic cores is providing fresh evidence that the enigmatic and invisible cosmic force called dark energy - ...

Earth and our entire Milky Way galaxy may sit inside a mysterious giant hole which makes the cosmos expand faster here than in neighboring regions of the universe, astronomers say. Their theory is a ...

Fifteen years ago cosmologists were flying high. The simple but wildly successful “standard model of cosmology” could, with just a few ingredients, account for a lot of what we see in the universe. It ...
