Nature speaks to theoretical physicists to explore the real theories that inspired the hit series. Warning: contains spoilers ...

The current accepted theory on the creation of our Universe is, of course, "The Big Bang Theory". But cutting edge new work ...

The shape of the universe is not something we often think about. My colleagues and I have published a new study that suggests ...

For years, we’ve believed that the universe is a vast, uniform expanse, with the same properties stretching across the cosmos ...

The simulation hypothesis—the idea that our universe might be an artificial construct running on some advanced alien computer ...

High-precision measurements from the KATRIN experiment strongly limit the existence of light sterile neutrinos and narrow the search for new physics. Neutrinos are extremely difficult to detect, yet ...

Ramanujan’s elegant formulas for calculating pi, developed more than a century ago, have unexpectedly resurfaced at the heart ...

The tension started to emerge from different datasets in the 2000s, mainly from the Hubble Space Telescope, and also recent ...

The fundamental nature of living things challenges assumptions that physicists have held for centuries.

Neutron stars explained through stellar remnants and collapsed stars, revealing extreme density, gravity, magnetism, and ...
