"One possible explanation for the Hubble tension would be if there was something missing in our understanding of the early universe, such as a new component of matter -- early dark energy -- that ...

“If there was some simple knob that one could turn that would reconcile ... This was another “crack” in the current cosmological theory to explain the universe, said Adam Reiss, an ...

The expansion of the universe is, in some ways, similar. But this analogy gets one thing wrong – while the dough expands into the baking pan, the universe doesn’t have anything to expand into.

The rate at which the universe is expanding is expressed as a value called the Hubble Constant, generally abbreviated as “H 0 ”. One quirk of ... may be with the theory.

The 20th century saw the shrouds surrounding the mysteries of science and creation being pulled back to reveal a universe of incredible, awe-inspiring wonder. From large galaxies millions of light ...
