For many critics of religion, particularly within atheist circles, the Big Bang theory is frequently presented as a decisive scientific evidence against belief in God and the biblical doctrine of ...

The big bang wasn’t the start of everything, but it has been impossible to see what came before. Now a new kind of cosmology is lifting the veil on the beginning of time ...

General relativity helps explain the lack of planets around tight binary stars by driving orbital resonances that eject or destroy close-in worlds. This process naturally creates a “desert” of ...

A mathematical equivalent of a microscope with variable resolution has shed light on why some atoms are exceptionally stable, a riddle that has persisted in nuclear physics for decades ...

At the center of the Milky Way, close to the pull of a supermassive black hole, astronomers have found a strange new radio signal that behaves like a slow, steady clock. This object is more than an ...

Now, according to a new study published in The Astrophysical Journal, there could be a pulsar at the center of our Milky Way—and it could open a new chapter in physics. Researchers from Columbia ...
