Approaches to date the Big Bang depend on mathematics and computational modeling. The model uses distance estimates of the oldest stars, the behavior of galaxies, and the rate of the universe’s expansion. The idea is to compute how long it would take all objects to...
Most dark matter is thought to be non-baryonic; it may be composed of some as-yet-undiscovered subatomic particles. The primary candidate for dark matter is some new kind of elementary particle that has not yet been discovered, particularly weakly interacting...
Something is seriously wrong with gravity, and nobody’s quite sure why. The problem is that gravity is too weak. Out of the four fundamental physical forces in the universe—gravity, electromagnetism, the strong force, and the weak force—gravity is by far the...
The large-scale structure of the Universe is made up of filaments and voids. When we look closely at the filaments, we find that they can be broken down into superclusters, clusters, galaxy groups, and finally into galaxies. The Large Scale Structure (LSS) of...
