Do we live in a giant void? It could solve the puzzle of the universe's expansion

One of the biggest mysteries in cosmology is the rate at which the universe is expanding. This can be predicted using the standard model of cosmology, also known as Lambda-cold dark matter (ΛCDM). This model is based on detailed observations of the light left over from the Big Bang –…

Universe may have resulted out of a ‘Big Bounce’, says Italian physicist Carlo Rovelli

Carlo Rovelli is an Italian theoretical physicist who has written several popular-science books. In his latest work, White Holes: Inside the Horizon, Rovelli explains the theoretical existence of white holes – the converse of black holes. The latter is believed to be the ultimate graveyard of all matter from which…

Gravitational distortion of time helps tell modified gravity apart from a dark force

With his theory of General Relativity in 1915, Albert Einstein revolutionized how we think about our universe. Rather than the cosmos simply providing the room for the planets and stars to orbit each other, space and time themselves were now dynamical entities in one ever-evolving play with matter and light.
