Besides particles like sterile neutrinos, axions and weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs), a leading candidate for ...

The mystery of how planets and icy objects formed in the farthest reaches of our solar system just took an exciting turn. A ...

Speculative new research outlines a method for detecting extraterrestrial civilizations: by catching the gravitational waves produced by the collapse, or failure, of their warp drives. Sounds wild ...

When people think of black holes, they imagine something dramatic: a star exploding in space, collapsing in on itself, and ...

In related research, Professors Pankaj Joshi and Sudip Bhattacharyya proposed that gravitational collapse in the early universe could have produced primordial naked singularities (PNaSs).

Their finding is akin to detecting the snowplow that made the pile. This indicates that gravitational collapse is a viable ...

Gravitational waves of this scale are the ... universe might have concentrated pockets of matter enough for them to collapse into black holes. These incredibly massive, largely invisible ...

Cosmologist Katie Mack breaks down what the latest findings about dark energy mean for our universe’s future. Either way, it won’t be happy. Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI ...

According to the nebular hypothesis, our star system formed from the gravitational collapse of part of a giant molecular cloud, most likely at the edge of a Wolf-Rayet bubble. (More on these in a ...
