Cosmologists face a dilemma. The rise of quantitative cosmology, exemplified by the release of new data in March on the cosmic microwave background from the WMAP satellite (see pp16-19; print version ...

The rapid acceleration of the universe’s expansion continues to challenge our understanding of fundamental physics. Why the ...

The e-mail arrived out of the blue last week. Did I want to attend a “private screening” in Covent Garden, London, of a new short film about cosmology, particle physics and love? It sounded ...

Around 300 years ago Isaac Newton showed that the same laws governed the fall of an apple and the movement of the planets, and he changed how we see the world. Around a hundred years ago, Albert ...

Let's talk about astrophysics, cosmology and how our universe works. In this episode of Crash Course Physics, Shini sits down to talk about Astrophysics and Cosmology. By using what we've learned this ...

For the past few years, a series of controversies have rocked the well-established field of cosmology. In a nutshell, the predictions of the standard model of the universe appear to be at odds with ...

Dark matter remains one of the most compelling enigmas in modern cosmology. Although it does not emit light, its gravitational influence is essential for the formation and evolution of cosmic ...
