The Latest Breaking News from the Big Bang

Scientists have discovered the oldest quasar ever seen, and it shines with the light of a trillion suns

Using the ESA's Euclid space telescope, astronomers have discovered a treasure trove of black hole-powered quasars in the early universe, including the most ancient and distant ever seen.

Cristiano Ronaldo's famous CR7 nickname inspired the name of a galaxy. Here's its origin and how it got its name

Cosmic Redshift 7, a galaxy discovered in 2015, holds significance for early universe study. Its name honors footballer Cristiano Ronaldo's famous nickname, a deliberate astronomical coincidence. This distant galaxy, observed over 800 million years after the Big Bang, is unusually bright. Researchers initially hoped it contained the universe's first stars,…

Can black holes turn into white holes? It's not such a crazy idea, scientists say

New research suggests primordial black holes born during the Big Bang could live much longer than previously estimated — long enough to become energy-spewing white holes.

James Webb Space Telescope discovers a black hole that formed before its host galaxy. Scientists aren't sure how

Observations of "Little Red Dot" ancient galaxies by the James Webb Space Telescope could answer the question: which comes first, the black hole or its galaxy? The shocking answer could represent a complete paradigm shift.

Could dark matter be made of black holes from a different universe?

New research suggests that relic black holes from before the big bang may still shape galaxies today. These black holes could explain dark matter, one of the biggest unsolved questions in cosmology.

Large Hadron Collider gives scientists their best look yet at conditions right after the Big Bang

The ALICE experiment at the world's most powerful particle accelerator, the Large Hadron Collider, has given scientists their best look yet at quark-gluon plasma, the primordial matter that filled the universe moments after the Big Bang.

Who Created God? The Question That Breaks Logic

There is one question that doesn’t just challenge beliefs it stops your mind completely. If God created everything… then who created God?” At first, it sounds simple. Almost logical. But the moment you think deeper, something unusual happens. Your thoughts slow down. Answers disappear. Because this question doesn’t just question…

Could our universe exist because black holes ate up all the antimatter?

Did primordial black holes born during the Big Bang swallow the universe's antimatter, allowing matter to dominate the cosmos?

A state of matter last seen just after the Big Bang may exist inside neutron stars — and scientists think they can prove it

As binary neutron stars spiral around each other to merge, their gravitational tidal forces distort each other's shape and structure, potentially revealing clues as to what lies within them.

Why lithium is not the answer to oil

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.
