A new theory of gravity might explain the curious motions of stars in galaxies. Emergent gravity, as the new theory is called, predicts the exact same deviation of motions that is usually explained by ...

Having more tools helps; having the right tools is better. Utilizing multiple dimensions may simplify difficult problems—not only in science fiction but also in physics—and tie together conflicting ...

Newton’s Law of Gravity just survived its biggest cosmic test. Scientists studied nearly 686,000 galaxies spread across 7 ...

One of the greatest unsolved puzzles in all of science is dark energy. The Universe isn't just expanding, but the expansion rate that we infer for distant galaxies is accelerating: their recession ...

The outer regions of galaxies, like our own Milky Way, rotate much faster around the centre than can be accounted for by the quantity of ordinary matter like stars, planets and interstellar gasses.

Astrophysicists have an idea that could help to solve two mysteries: the reason for the bizarre abundance of super-high-energy radiation shooting from the center of our galaxy and the identity of ...

The Big Bang purportedly transpired 13.8 billion years ago, and even so, the universe continues to expand even today. But if that thought alone wasn’t impressive enough, scientists also believe that ...
