The large-scale structure of the universe—the gigantic, hierarchical cosmic web of structures bound by gravity—is mostly made up of dark matter. The growth of the large-scale structure, from ...

The Universe is big, as Douglas Adams would say. The most distant light we can see is the cosmic microwave background (CMB), which has taken more than 13 billion years to reach us. This marks the edge ...

Beyond numbers and scales, this video reflects on what it means to exist inside such immensity. It shows how, despite our physical smallness and brief moment in cosmic time, humanity has learned to ...

A group of researchers at the University of Waterloo and the University of British Columbia have discovered a potential "cosmic glitch" in the universe's gravity, explaining its strange behavior on a ...

Researchers have discovered a potential 'cosmic glitch' in the universe's gravity, explaining its strange behavior on a cosmic scale. A group of researchers at the University of Waterloo and the ...

Gravity has passed nearly every test physicists have thrown at it for a century. Yet on the largest scales in the universe, a small mismatch may be pointing toward a limit in Einstein’s theory. A team ...

Scientists have been scratching their heads at the expansion of the universe since it was discovered nearly a century ago, particularly applying fundamental theories such as Einstein's Theory of ...

The large-scale structure of the Universe arises from the gravitational amplification of primordial fluctuations, producing a cosmic web of galaxies, filaments, clusters and voids. At sufficiently ...

A team of researchers in Australia have recorded shockwaves in the cosmic web for the first time. These shockwaves could help us understand the role of magnetic fields. Researchers hope studying the ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. A cosmic glitch in gravity may make gravity about 1% weaker across billions of light-years, challenging Einstein's theory at vast ...
