Waterloo scientists have developed a new way to understand how the universe began, and it could change what we know about the Big Bang and the earliest moments of cosmic history. Their work suggests ...

The Big Bang still explains an enormous part of the universe’s story, but this video goes straight to the place where that explanation starts to break down. It follows the point where physics can ...

(PhysOrg.com) -- Suppose at some point the universe ceases to expand, and instead begins collapsing in on itself (as in the “Big Crunch” scenario), and eventually becomes a supermassive black hole.

Scientists at CERN have achieved a historic first in antimatter research, after they successfully ...

Our universe may have been born in a gravitational crunch that formed a very massive black hole—followed by a bounce inside it. The Big Bang is often described as the explosive birth of the universe—a ...

Scientists studying particle collisions at CERN have captured new evidence of how quarks move through the early universe’s ...

Imagine we had somehow filmed the whole history of the universe and you could play the movie in reverse. It would start off much as things stand today: a vast and elegant web of galaxies and nebulae.
