What if the Big Bang wasn’t truly the beginning? A team of cosmologists is using the power of supercomputers to push past the ...

Bazinga?” The term, pilfered from popular culture, might just capture the befuddlement that lingers around the Big Bang. For decades, the picture of a cosmic firecracker matter exploded outward from ...

Simulations based on Einstein’s theory of relativity test scenarios that might have preceded the Big Bang, to observe the ...

Most scientists think that everything that we know and experience began with the Big Bang, 14 billion years ago. But how can ...

Researchers are using supercomputer simulations grounded in Einstein’s relativity to test scenarios about what may have ...

The review shows how numerical relativity transforms cosmology, replacing shortcuts with full simulations of Einstein’s ...

If black holes are actually droplets of dark energy that convert stellar matter into this mysterious and dominant force, many ...

We're often told it is "unscientific" or "meaningless" to ask what happened before the Big Bang. But a new paper by FQxI ...

Our humble blue planet came into being with the Big Bang — the sudden expansion of the universe outwards. Now, according to astrophysicists and cosmologists, Earth and all of its celestial ...

The Big Bang is often described as the explosive birth of the universe—a singular moment when space, time and matter sprang into existence. But what if this was not the beginning at all? What if ...

Our universe may have been born in a gravitational crunch that formed a very massive black hole—followed by a bounce inside it. The Big Bang is often described as the explosive birth of the universe—a ...
