The evidence for the Big Bang is overwhelming, but we cannot describe what goes on in that event. We can’t accurately call it ...

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

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

New research suggests numerical relativity, a computational approach to the Einstein's equations, could resolve some of ...

Scientists are rethinking the universe’s deepest mysteries using numerical relativity, complex computer simulations of ...

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 ...

A new study proposes using computer simulations to investigate what occurred before the Big Bang, offering potential answers ...

In the earliest moments after the universe was born, everything changed—fast. This rapid expansion, known as cosmic inflation, was theorized to solve problems in the Big Bang model.

For decades, scientists have viewed the Big Bang as the starting point of space and time. But research into cosmic inflation—the lightning-fast expansion that likely occurred before the Big Bang ...

Today’s standard cosmological model, based on the Big Bang and cosmic inflation (the idea that the early universe rapidly blew up in size), has been remarkably successful in explaining the structure ...

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 ...
