The cosmological constant has been a problem in physics since Einstein, but new research may show why it takes the value that ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: A new paper adjusts an equation that defines our universe in response to recent new data. The cosmological constant, which describes how our universe ...

According to physics, the universe and everything in it can be explained by just a handful of equations. They’re difficult equations, all right, but their simplest feature is also the most mysterious ...

Churning nano-wormholes could explain the clash in our cosmological constants. The wormholes add magnitude to a math parameter called the Gauss-Bonnet term. Boosting one term in a complex equation ...

The lack of convergence between quantum laws and gravitation remains a persistent problem in physics. A recent advance, materialized by a new equation, however opens a path to bring these ...

Over ten years ago, the Dark Energy Survey (DES) began mapping the universe to find evidence that could help us understand the nature of the mysterious phenomenon known as dark energy. I’m one of more ...

The theoretical framework underlying gravitational waves may have to be revamped to account for dark energy and the acceleration of the expansion of the universe. That’s the conclusion of researchers ...

On the list of tales we like to tell about Albert Einstein, the story of his "biggest blunder" is near the top. It begins with a problem that was bugging Einstein: How could his theory of general ...
