Mathematicians are challenging the idea that dark energy is responsible for the accelerating expansion of the universe. In a ...

Why is the expansion of our Universe accelerating? Twenty-five years after its discovery, this phenomenon remains one of the greatest current scientific mysteries. Solving it requires testing the ...

Proposed 15 years ago, the bounded L2 curvature conjecture has finally been proven by a group of researchers. It provides a potentially minimal framework in which it is possible to solve the Einstein ...

From Quanta Magazine (find original story here). In November 1915, in a lecture before the Prussian Academy of Sciences, Albert Einstein described an idea that upended humanity’s view of the universe.

Spacetime is often described as the stage on which the universe unfolds, a four-dimensional blend of space and time that bends, stretches and shifts as matter and energy move through it. However, ...

Our technological capabilities have become astonishing in recent years. And with science and technology working hand in hand, we are reaching a tipping point in society. Einstein’s general theory of ...
