We'll cut right to the chase: This video of Stanford Professor Andrei Linde finding out about yesterday's big discovery of "smoking gun" evidence of cosmic inflation (the "first tremors of the big ...

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 ...

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.

Asking what existed before the Big Bang is often dismissed as meaningless, since traditional physics breaks down when pushed that far back in time. Yet a new paper published in Living Reviews in ...

Alex Vilenkin discussed what lies beyond the cosmic horizon in the fourth-ever Dean's Faculty Forum last night. "Until recently, physicists thought that the answer to this question was quite boring," ...

Great movie that clearly explains how gravitational waves were discovered and their significance to our understanding of the universe In the beginning there was the Big Bang. A quintillionth of a ...

Many textbooks and science educators have attempted to describe the Big Bang as the birth of the universe — an explosive start that happened at a specific point creating matter and flinging it into ...

Is the universe 'tuned' to support life, and ultimately us? Physicists Nemanja Kaloper and Alexander Westphal have proposed ways to test this Anthropic principle. (Image of deep star field from the ...

galaxies — should be bigger than recently reported, according to a new (WMAP) concluded that space is flat, or Euclidian, instead of being curved, said Dr. Richard Lieu, a professor of physics at UAH.
