The Big Bang is a widely accepted explanation for the origins of the universe; however, Brazilian physicist Juliano Cesar Silva Neves has come up with a new “cyclical” theory, which challenges this prevailing concept. A scientist in Brazil has proposed a way of overcoming the problem presented by the Big Bang theory, the need for the singularity of spacetime, by doing away with the theory... 

In this image, captured by the Gemini Observatory, shows at least three recent supernovas exploding on camera for the first time on May 21, 2008. It is suspected that these interactions sparked the formation of massive stars and the resulting fury of supernovae activity in this galaxy. The universe may not be expanding since the Big Bang as fast as it was previously thought, astronomers say. The discovery... 

An image of the anisotropies of the Cosmic microwave background as observed by Planck and released by the European Space Agency on March 21, 2013. A new study on the radiation leftover from the outset of creation of the universe has revealed that the Big Bang occurred 100 million years earlier than previous estimates around 13.8 billion years ago. The analysis of the data collected by the European... 

It is traditionally believed that our universe was formed approximately 13 billion years ago after the infamous Big Bang. But why did it happen and what was before it? Employees of Astro Space Center of the Physics Institute (ASC FIAN), Vladimir Lukash and Vladimir Strokov believe that the answer to this question can be a black hole. It is nearly impossible to get any reliable information about the... 

A photo of the Milky Way galaxy Scientists at the University of Zurich in Switzerland say they have created the world’s first realistic simulation of the formation of the Milky Way. Astrophysicists from the University of Zurich working with astronomers at the University of California maintain that their recent video simulation of the Milky Way shows the creation of our galaxy less than a million... 

Part of the ALPHA experiment at CERN. Some 309 antihydrogen atoms have been created by ALPHA Collaboration in Switzerland and stored in a magnified cylinder up to about 17 minutes for the first time in the history of science. The Geneva-based international team of scientists working in CERN announced on Tuesday that storing the antimatter atoms up to 1000 seconds (nearly 17 minutes) is a great step... 

It seems that scientists find more and more evidence to prove the existence of parallel worlds. Physicists at Stanford University managed to calculate the hypothetical number of universes that were formed as a result of the Big Bang. According to them, the Big Bang created 101016 universes. It is quite possible, though, that they may exist inside one another, including our planet. Therefore, there... 

Gifted: Jacob Barnett is so far ahead of his age group he is now leaving university he is developing his own theory on how the universe came into being. A 12-year-old child prodigy has astounded university professors after grappling with some of the most advanced concepts in mathematics. Jacob Barnett has an IQ of 170 – higher than Albert Einstein – and is now so far advanced in his Indiana...
