Nearly 50 years ago, physicists floated a bold idea: our universe might be stuck in a false vacuum. This state feels stable, ...

The largest ever computer simulation of our universe has deepened a debate in cosmology. Skip to main content. ... But S8's value can also be predicted using the standard model of cosmology; ...

In a universe modeled as computation, the computer that renders space and its contents should be outside of space. To make progress in building such a model, one option is to place the computer ...

Both models change the universe’s growth in a direction that aligns early- and late-time measurements. What Comes Next? The research team plans to turn their equations into a full computer model.

To put these ideas to the test, the researchers turned to Google's Sycamore 2 computer, loading it with a bare-bones model of a simple holographic universe that contained two quantum entangled ...

To recreate the cosmos on a computer, we first need to know what it’s made of. Davé sets the scene by clearly explaining the so-called “concordance model”, which tells us that the universe is 68% dark ...

Computer models reveal how the Universe’s biggest and brightest galaxies formed. It all has to do with a big buildup of gas. It all has to do with a big buildup of gas. by Loren Grush.

Using a statistical method known as the Bayesian inference, we reconstructed the gravity of the universe through cosmic history in a computer model based on these three parameters.

Instead, the universe is much older, which means we don’t need to rely on mysterious dark matter as a crutch to help us understand it. Enter our current dark matter crisis.

Of some help could be a new computer simulation that traces how all elements of the universe — ordinary matter, dark matter and dark energy — evolve according to the laws of physics.
