A new theory for the origin of the universe proposed by scholars at the University of Padua, University of Barcelona, and University of Pisa, redefines the first few moments of existence and decouples inflation from traditional cosmological models. The authors claim their approach relies less on speculation than the standard theory of inflation, minimizing dependence on unobserved phenomena. By grounding …

A new experiment involving a network of entangled atomic clocks could finally help us test how quantum mechanics fits with general relativity. Quantum mechanics is our best understanding of the universe at atomic and subatomic scales. With it, we have revolutionized our understanding of physics on teeny tiny scales. General relativity – first outlined by Albert Einstein in 1915 – …

The H5N1 bird flu virus has historically extracted a heavy toll when it infects humans, with nearly half of confirmed cases ending in death over the past three decades. But of the 70 cases reported in the United States over the past 18 months, only a single death occurred, leaving experts puzzled at how to explain the phenomenon. A new …

Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have made a groundbreaking discovery that could validate long-held assumptions about the early universe. The discovery, detailed in a recent study submitted to Nature, revolves around the detection of AMORE6, a galaxy that may be a rare example of what scientists have been searching for: a pristine, zero-metallicity galaxy. This galaxy, with …

Following the Big Bang, our universe expanded at an exponential rate. According to this theory, known as cosmic inflation, the explosive growth produced tiny quantum fluctuations that later evolved into galaxies. Cosmic inflation neatly explains how our universe got so large and mostly homogenous, and that’s why it’s remained a strong theory in cosmology for decades. But it’s far from …

The world of Bousso’s new theorem still departs from our universe in notable ways. For mathematical convenience, he assumed that there’s an unlimited variety of particles—an unrealistic assumption that makes some physicists wonder whether this third layer matches reality (with its 17 or so known particles) any better than the second layer does. “We don’t have an infinite number of …

If Neptune gets knocked out of its orbit by just 0.1%, it could cause turmoil in the cosmos. Astronomers used a telescope in Hawaii to find a new object on the outer edges of our solar system, helping to fuel evidence of a long-standing theory about Planet Nine, or Planet X.  For years, scientists have theorized about a ninth planet …

It’s easy to say in hindsight, but also true, that even when the anti-vax movement was in its infancy in the late 90s before I had kids, let alone knew what you were supposed to vaccinate them against, I could smell absolute garbage. After all, Andrew Wakefield, a doctor until he was struck off in 2010, was not the first …
