General Relativity continues to provide a robust framework for understanding the interplay between gravitational waves and the cosmological constant. Gravitational waves—ripples in the fabric of ...

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 ...

Scientists in Greece have laid out a mathematical framework to help explain a so-far-unsolved gap in our understanding of how gravity scales up to the full size of our universe. Specifically, ...

Dark energy—the term used to describe whatever is causing the universe to expand at an increasing rate—is one of the universe’s greatest mysteries. The widely accepted theory at the present moment ...

Astronomers working with the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument, known as DESI, have found growing hints that dark energy, ...
