Cosmic inflation tries to describe one brief but crucial phase in the Big Bang that launched the universe onto its expansion course. Many textbooks and science educators have attempted to describe the ...

We'll cut right to the chase: This video of Stanford Professor Andrei Linde finding out about yesterday's big discovery of "smoking gun" evidence of cosmic inflation (the "first tremors of the big ...

Cosmic inflation is a popular scenario for the earliest phase in the evolution of the Universe CREDIT A. Ijjas, P.J. Steinhardt and A. Loeb (Scientific American, February 2017) Astrophysicists say ...

In the earliest moments after the universe was born, everything changed—fast. This rapid expansion, known as cosmic inflation, was theorized to solve problems in the Big Bang model. It explains why ...

Asking what existed before the Big Bang is often dismissed as meaningless, since traditional physics breaks down when pushed that far back in time. Yet a new paper published in Living Reviews in ...

A new theory promises to simplify our approach to the universe's earliest moments, but some cosmologists say further mathematical scrutiny is warranted. reading time 5 minutes Following the Big Bang, ...

Is the universe 'tuned' to support life, and ultimately us? Physicists Nemanja Kaloper and Alexander Westphal have proposed ways to test this Anthropic principle. (Image of deep star field from the ...

galaxies — should be bigger than recently reported, according to a new (WMAP) concluded that space is flat, or Euclidian, instead of being curved, said Dr. Richard Lieu, a professor of physics at UAH.

Many textbooks and science educators have attempted to describe the Big Bang as the birth of the universe — an explosive start that happened at a specific point creating matter and flinging it into ...
