The cosmological constant has been a problem in physics since Einstein, but new research may show why it takes the value that ...

A new study links the universe’s expansion to quantum topology, suggesting that hidden mathematical structures may stabilize ...

Set theory serves as a foundational pillar in mathematics, providing the language and tools necessary to discuss infinite collections. A central focus within this discipline is the study of cardinal ...

PROVIDENCE, R.I. [Brown University] — The cosmological constant is the mathematical description of the energy that drives the ever-accelerating expansion of the cosmos. It’s also the source of one of ...

A grand challenge in modern theoretical physics is to find a ‘unified theory’ that can describe all the laws of nature within a single framework – connecting Einstein's general theory of relativity, ...

Set theory remains the fulcrum of modern mathematical foundations, providing the language and axiomatic structure upon which much of mathematics is built. Predominantly formulated through the ...

Prof Stephen Hawking’s closest collaborator explains emerging evidence supporting the cosmologist’s final thoughts on time ...

Almost 400 years ago, in The Assayer, Galileo wrote: “Philosophy is written in this grand book, the universe … [But the book] is written in the language of mathematics.” He was much more than an ...

The cosmological constant is the mathematical description of the energy that drives the ever-accelerating expansion of the ...

The simulation hypothesis—the idea that our universe might be an artificial construct running on some advanced alien computer—has long captured the public imagination. Yet most arguments about it rest ...
