And they had noticed that Ptolemy's geocentric model of the universe, it wasn't matching the math. Over the next few decades, Copernicus calculated and recalculated and re-recalculated the heavens ...

But Cellarius’s magnificent rendering of the geocentric cosmos endures ... Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe’s model, in which most of the universe orbits the Earth, but the other five known ...

The new model forgoes the need for either dark matter or dark energy as explanations for the universe's acceleration and how structures like galaxies are generated. The researcher's work builds on ...

Our picture of the Universe involves putting together a number of pieces of evidence, so it is appealing to hear of Marinoni and Buzzi's novel technique 1 for testing the cosmological model ...

Researchers have calculated the chance of intelligent life existing in our universe right now and in the future. They've developed a new 'formula for life' model they claim is the most ...

The chances of intelligent life emerging in our Universe -- and in any hypothetical ones beyond it -- can be estimated by a new theoretical model which has echoes of the famous Drake Equation.

The model is based on a solution to Einstein’s general theory of relativity (our best understanding of gravity) that assumes the universe is homogeneous and isotropic on large scales – meaning ...

In the wake of bombshell findings that suggest dark energy might be weakening as the universe expands, physicists are considering replacing the standard cosmological model of the universe with ...

In fact, over the past two decades, two major ways to measure this number—known as the “Hubble constant” —have come up with different answers, leading some to wonder if there was something missing ...

The study, based on high-precision measurements of the cosmic microwave background and its polarized light, adds further support to the veracity of the standard cosmological model. It also makes a ...
