In the vast and boundless universe, every star tells its own story. Recently, the European Space Agency's (ESA) Gaia space telescope has revealed a new secret of the Milky Way—those star clusters and ...

Mapping the Universe’s vast structure no longer requires endless supercomputer time. Effort.jl brings cosmic modeling to ...

Research team includes astrophysicists, computer scientists, artists, and philosophers from UC Riverside, USC, and Carnegie ...

Scientists created the most accurate three-dimensional map of star-formation regions in our Milky Way galaxy, based on data ...

The proof of the existence of parallel universes has long been hindered by the core issue of "unobservable and difficult to empirically validate." Traditional theories often rely on mathematical ...

Physicists who work with a concept called string theory envision our universe as an eerie place with at least nine spatial dimensions, six of them hidden from us, perhaps curled up in some way so they ...

Physicists have taken a bold step beyond Einstein's special theory of relativity, proposing an expansion of special relativity that includes observers moving faster than light. This fresh perspective ...

The largest-ever three-dimensional map of the cosmos, plotting out some 15 million celestial objects, could help reveal the ultimate fate of the universe. Astrophysicists know that the universe is ...

A new theory of the fabric of the universe has proposed that time has three dimensions. Moreover, this model leads to the conclusion that these three time dimensions are the true underlying feature of ...

We live in (or at least, perceive, with various branches of string theory including up to 26 dimensions) a universe with three dimensions (plus time), and there are reasons to suspect why we find ...
