Primordial black holes and dark matter

Astronomers are studying black holes that could have formed in the early universe, before stars and galaxies were born. Such primordial black holes (PBHs) could account for all or part of dark matter.

Our universe: An expanding bubble in an extra dimension

Swedish researchers have devised a new model for the Universe, that may solve the enigma of dark energy. They proposes a new structural concept of a universe that rides on an expanding bubble in an additional dimension.

Life May Be Billions of Times More Common in the Multiverse

While there is no physical evidence that parallel universes exist, the theories that explain how our universe came to be seem to suggest that they are inevitable.

The Multiverse?

Merging Neutron Stars Challenge Existing Theories of Gravity and Dark Energy.

New Evidence Shows We May Be Living in a Multiverse

We've never actually found any genuine proof for the existence of a multiverse - until now.

New survey hints at ancient origin for Cold Spot in the Universe

A supervoid is unlikely to explain a ‘Cold Spot’ in the cosmic microwave background, leaving room for exotic explanations like a collision between universes.

What Was Our Universe Like Before the Big Bang?

Theoretical physicists and cosmologists deal with the biggest questions, like “Why are we here?” “When did the universe begin?” and “How?” Another questions that bugs them, and likely has bugged you, is “What happened before the Big Bang?”

Universe neither confirms nor denies its holographic nature

The holographic principle tells us that we can achieve the same physics by reducing the number of dimensions by one and removing gravity.

"Many Interacting Worlds" theory suggests parallel universes

A new paper published by scientists from the Griffith’s Centre for Quantum Dynamics claims that parallel universes do exist.

The Logic and Beauty of Cosmological Natural Selection

The hypothesis is cosmological natural selection, and its power, beauty and logic provide what may be the best scientific explanation for the existence of complexity and life in the universe.

This Five-Dimensional Black Hole Could Collapse Albert Einstein's General Relativity

Scientists in the U.K. share a five-dimensional black hole simulation model that could ‘break’ the general relativity of Albert Einstein, the very foundation of modern physics.

A 40-year-old puzzle of superstring theory solved by supercomputer

A group of three researchers from KEK, Shizuoka University and Osaka University has for the first time revealed the way our universe was born with 3 spatial dimensions from 10-dimensional superstring theory in which spacetime has 9 spatial directions and 1 temporal direction. This result was obtained by numerical simulation on a supercomputer.

Our universe at home within a larger Universe? So suggests physicist's wormhole research

Could our universe be located within the interior of a wormhole which itself is part of a black hole that lies within a much larger universe?

First observational test of the 'multiverse'

The theory that our universe is contained inside a bubble, and that multiple alternative universes exist inside their own bubbles – making up the
