How exactly did the universe start and how did these processes determine its formation and evolution? This is what a recent study published in Physical Review Research hopes to address as a team of researchers from Spain and Italy proposed a new model for the events that transpired immediately after the birth of the universe. This study has the potential …

Dark energy—the hypothetical force accelerating our universe’s expansion—sometimes raises more questions than it answers. A new study, however, presents surprising evidence that black holes may be an incubator for dark energy—suggesting that the force may be less constant than we believed. In a paper published August 21 in Physical Review Letters, researchers used data from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument …

The early universe is perhaps one of the biggest mysteries of our time, and while we’ve come close to unraveling some of those earliest mysteries thanks to advancing tech like the James Webb Space Telescope and other observatories, scientists have still found themselves scratching their heads about how our universe formed and which molecules helped fuel the first star formations. Many …

When it was first announced, the Universes Beyond product line was almost universally despised. Things really didn’t get off to a good start as the initial The Walking Dead Secret Lair was fraught with issues and controversy. For better or worse, since then, Wizards has taken several strides since then and largely turned things around. Nowadays, Universes Beyond MTG products …

This story was provided by Live Science, a sister site of Space.com. For the first time, researchers have recreated the universe’s first ever molecules by mimicking the conditions of the early universe. The findings shake up our understanding of the origin of stars in the early universe and “calls for a reassessment of the helium chemistry in the early universe,” …

IN A NUTSHELL 🔭 The James Webb Space Telescope discovers over a dozen dormant galaxies in the early universe. 🌀 Supermassive black holes and neighboring galaxies likely halt star formation by depleting or heating cold gas. 🌟 The stop-and-go pattern of star formation is supported by the discovery of 14 galaxies with varying masses. 🔍 Future JWST programs aim to …

Magic: The Gathering Head Designer Mark Rosewater mentioned that Universes Beyond sets receive “ongoing complaints” in his State of Design 2025 address.   Per usual, Rosewater offered up his annual thoughts on recent Magic: The Gathering releases (see “The One Ring Card Was Polarizing for Fans “). This year’s review mostly stuck to addressing issues with the use of tropes in Magic …

A groundbreaking set of supercomputer simulations is offering a vivid glimpse into how the universe’s first stars, known as Population III stars, emerged from the chaos of the early cosmos. These simulations, led by Ke-Jung Chen of the Institute of Astronomy and Astrophysics at Academia Sinica in Taiwan and detailed in a study published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters, reveal …

Artificial intelligence is blooming with new product launches each day, but as much as AI labs would want us to believe that they are nearing AGI, there are still instances when their chatbots seem to go off the rails — and in very different ways. OpenAI’s GPT-4o, for instance, started showing sycophantic behaviour (becoming overly agreeable) after an update, while …
