A group of researchers at the University of Waterloo and the University of British Columbia have discovered a potential "cosmic glitch" in the universe's gravity, explaining its strange behavior on a ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. A cosmic glitch in gravity may make gravity about 1% weaker across billions of light-years, challenging Einstein's theory at vast ...

Scientists have been scratching their heads at the expansion of the universe since it was discovered nearly a century ago, particularly applying fundamental theories such as Einstein's Theory of ...

Gravity, as most people understand it, is the familiar force that pulls a falling apple toward Earth. But for astronomers and theoretical physicists, it is also a vexing invisible architect that ...

Researchers have discovered a potential 'cosmic glitch' in the universe's gravity, explaining its strange behavior on a cosmic scale. A group of researchers at the University of Waterloo and the ...

The cosmic microwave background (CMB) provides a snapshot of the Universe 380,000 years after the Big Bang, revealing minute temperature fluctuations—anisotropies—that trace the primordial density ...

Dark matter is often portrayed as a cosmic loner, interacting with itself and the rest of the universe only through gravity. But what if dark matter particles also exert a hidden force on one another?

The Universe on the largest scales exhibits a complex network of filaments, sheets and voids that together form the cosmic web. This web is generated by the gravitational growth of primordial density ...

Gravity has passed nearly every test physicists have thrown at it for a century. Yet on the largest scales in the universe, a small mismatch may be pointing toward a limit in Einstein’s theory. A team ...
