For the past few years, a series of controversies have rocked the well-established field of cosmology. In a nutshell, the predictions of the standard model of the universe appear to be at odds with ...

CALABASAS, Calif., March 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- For decades, the Standard Cosmological Model has operated on a single, foundational assumption: the Big Bang happened everywhere at exactly the same ...

A team of cosmologists in China has introduced a mathematical framework that investigates two of the deepest mysteries in ...

A Princeton-led team of astrophysicists has measured a value for the “clumpiness” of the universe’s dark matter that suggests the standard cosmological model might need to be revised It feels like a ...

A new study probing the structure and evolution of galaxy clusters shows good agreement with the predictions of standard cosmological models. Cosmologists have found new evidence for the standard ...

How do you measure dark matter, which by definition emits no light? Watch how it impacts things that you can see — specifically, how light from distant galaxies bends around it, as predicted by ...

Astrophysicists have measured a value for the 'clumpiness' of the universe's dark matter (known to cosmologists as 'S8') of 0.776, which does not align with the value derived from the Cosmic Microwave ...
