Scientists believe that in the very early universe, everything was incredibly tiny, chaotic, and full of random energy ripples, known as quantum foam. It was a state where spacetime was unstable, and ...

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 ...

In the earliest moments after the universe was born, everything changed—fast. This rapid expansion, known as cosmic inflation, was theorized to solve problems in the Big Bang model. It explains why ...

The ‘inflationary’ model of cosmology explains many large-scale features of the Universe as the result of a primordial period of exponential, almost instantaneous cosmic expansion called inflation.

The Universe experienced a rapid expansion just after its birth, a phenomenon called cosmic inflation. This brief but intense phase left traces in the structure of spacetime. Scientists are trying to ...

When you hear about the Big Bang, what do you think? Do you worry about having missed last night’s episode of The Big Bang Theory? Well, then you must have had quite a week given that the cosmological ...

Researchers from the University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin) have proposed a new model to explain the origin of dark matter ...

Update 12:05 p.m. — The team at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics has announced they've found "The First Direct Evidence of Cosmic Inflation." The scientists say that after three years ...

The study finds how large amplitude fluctuations generated on small scales can amplify large-scale fluctuations observed in the cosmic microwave background. Researchers at the Research Center for the ...
