The Latest Breaking News from the Big Bang

Lithium's journey from the Big Bang to powering electric vehicles highlights unsustainable mining practices. The article argues for a Rights of Nature approach over critical minerals, criticizing oversized EVs and market-driven resource nationalism. True sustainability requires shifting from infinite growth logic to valuing nature's complexity, not just changing fuels.

Wormholes may not exist – we’ve found they reveal something deeper about time and the universe

Wormholes are often imagined as tunnels through space or time — shortcuts across the universe. But this image rests on a misunderstanding of work by physicists Albert Einstein and Nathan Rosen.

Astronomers discover the earliest, hottest galaxy cluster in the universe, and it breaks all the rules

The galaxy cluster appears hotter and more mature than it should for its young age, challenging what we think we know about how these cities of galaxies form.

Scientists To Trash The Big Bang Theory? Oxygen Found at the Start of Time

Oxygen detected just 300 million years after the Big Bang has caused viral claims that cosmology is wrong. But does this discovery really threaten the Big Bang theory, or are scientists simply rewriting the universe's earliest chapter?

'We were amazed': Scientists using James Webb telescope may have discovered the earliest supernova in the known universe

Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope report that a powerful gamma-ray burst detected in March may have been produced by the explosion of a massive star just 730 million years after the Big Bang.

Have gravitational waves provided the first hint of primordial black holes born during the Big Bang?

Scientists may have "heard" the first tantalizing evidence of primordial black holes formed directly from overly dense pockets of matter just after the Big Bang.

James Webb telescope may have discovered the earliest, most distant supermassive black hole ever seen

The James Webb telescope may have detected the universe's earliest and most distant known black hole at the heart of galaxy GHZ2, revealing how the first black holes grew just a few hundred million years after the Big Bang.

The James Webb Space Telescope may have finally found the 1st stars in the universe

"We really needed the sensitivity of JWST. We also needed the 100 times magnification from gravitational lensing from a galaxy cluster between us and LAP1-B."
