Scientists theorize that cosmic strings interacting with dense matter in the early universe provided the seeds for galaxies and black holes.
Results for "galaxies"
Galactic winds from black holes found to influence the evolution of galaxies
Astronomers have discovered that black holes trigger the formation of galactic winds that greatly influence star formation.
Explaining the “universe breaker” galaxies discovered by the James Webb Telescope
Astronomers report recent observation of six massive galaxies that according to our current understanding of the Universe should not exist at all.
Defining the edges of galaxies
Using a new definition of galaxy size, astronomers have uncovered new, exciting findings about how they formed and evolved.
New theory suggests gravity is not a fundamental force
A new theory proposes gravity isn’t a fundamental force but emerges from quantum electromagnetic interactions, potentially reshaping our view of spacetime itself.
Self-interacting inflaton particles may reshape our picture of the early universe
Subtle inflaton interactions may reshape our understanding of cosmic inflation, altering predictions about dark matter, black holes, and gravitational waves.
New machine learning tool could transform how we study neutron star mergers
A new machine learning algorithm that can rapidly pinpoint the location of a neutron star merger using gravitational wave signals alone.
Higgs boson may be driving the Universe’s expansion
Scientists assume that inflation was driven by hypothetical inflaton particles, which scientists think could be the Higgs boson.
A new type of dark matter could explain mysterious radiation from the Milky Way’s core
Dark matter could be composed of much lighter particles, with masses roughly ten times smaller than that of a proton.
Exploring quantum gravity with pendulums
If experimentally proven that gravity is classical, we will have to start from the beginning in a search for a satisfactory ontological picture of the world.
