The death of dark energy is a false alarm – the universe is still accelerating

A 2025 study by South Korean researchers caught the attention of the astronomy community when it suggested that the evidence behind dark energy could be wrong. Dark energy makes up about 70% of the universe but nobody knows what it is. This makes it a frequent target for scepticism.

Dark matter's secret address revealed? Scientists say it may be hiding in fifth dimension; here's what the new theory says about one of the universe's biggest mysteries

A new study proposes dark matter resides in a hidden extra dimension. This hidden dimension may naturally align particle masses, creating dark matter resonance. Such resonance could explain why dark matter interacted strongly in the early universe. However, these interactions are now almost undetectable in the present day. This theory…

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,…

The universe is less uniform than we thought – cosmology may need a radical rethink

Modern cosmology rests on a simple assumption: if we look on large enough scales, matter should be distributed evenly, with no preferred direction within the cosmos. This is known as the cosmological principle.

Word of wisdom by Werner Heisenberg: "Not only is the Universe stranger than we think, it is stranger than we can..." - What did the quantum physics pioneer and Nobel Prize winner really mean? His famous quote reveals a powerful truth about knowledge and human curiosity

Word of wisdom by the quantum physics pioneer continues to inspire scientists, thinkers, and curious minds decades later. The quote is often misunderstood as saying humans can never understand reality. That is not its central message. Instead, Heisenberg highlights an important distinction between what we know and what is possible…
