The Big Bang model begins with a point of infinite density where the laws of physics break down. This is a deep theoretical problem that suggests the beginning of the Universe is not fully understood, ...

Specifically, the team is looking at the fraction of a second after the Big Bang, which is called Cosmic Inflation, because ...

In the blink of an eye after the Big Bang, the universe could have birthed strange new stars and black holes.

Nobel laureate who mapped temperature variations in the cosmic microwave background.

The Big Bang theory is supported by the discovery of the cosmic microwave background radiation. The universe rapidly expanded and cooled after the Big Bang. Light elements like helium and lithium ...

Did the universe really begin with a Big Bang? And if so, is there evidence? Are there planets around other stars? Can they support life? The 2019 Nobel Prize in Physics goes to three scientists who ...

The expanding Universe, full of galaxies and the complex structure we observe today, arose from a smaller, hotter, denser, more uniform state. But even that initial state had its origins, with cosmic ...

In the beginning, there was an infinitely dense, tiny ball of matter. Then, it all went bang, giving rise to the atoms, molecules, stars and galaxies we see today. Or at least, that's what we've been ...

Thanks to the lovable geeks on TV’s “The Big Bang Theory,” an Escondido inventor’s decades-old toy is now spinning with new life. On the popular show’s Feb. 16 episode, astrophysicist Raj tried to ...

Here’s a random bit of trivia for you: physics is a really tough field of science that most students usually shy away from when choosing majors. Becoming a physical scientist—or any sort of scientist, ...

Today's Nobel Prize in physics was evenly split between two discoveries and, thus, unevenly split among the three honored. Typically when this happens, the two discoveries are at least somewhat ...
