Latest about big bang theory
James Webb Space Telescope eyes Hubble Ultra Deep Field in stunning detail (photo)
NASA's James Webb Space Telescope looked at the same distant patch of sky that Hubble did, revealing yet more detail in the famous Ultra Deep Field.
'Hubble trouble' could deepen with new measurement of the universe's expansion
Cosmologists have a problem: Their measurements of the rate of expansion of the universe don't agree. And a new, highly accurate measurement of variable stars could deepen this 'Hubble trouble.'
James Webb Space Telescope spies most ancient galaxies ever observed
The James Webb Space Telescope's ability to study the early universe has been solidified by the confirmation that it has imaged four galaxies as they were just 350 million years after the Big Bang.
The universe might be shaped like a doughnut, not like a pancake, new research suggests
The universe may be flat, but could still be shaped like a doughnut, weird patterns in leftover light from the Big Bang suggest.
Faint gravitational waves may be from primordial fractures in space-time
The early universe may have been such a violent place that space-time itself fractured like a pane of glass, releasing gravitational waves that astronomers say we may have already detected.
Dark energy could lead to a second (and third, and fourth) Big Bang, new research suggests
Scientists have proposed a way that the universe could stop expanding, ending in a 'Big Crunch' that resets space and time as we know it.
Only filmed interview with Georges Lemaître, 'father of the Big Bang,' rediscovered after 60 years
The only known filmed interview with physicist and Catholic priest Georges Lemaître, who originally proposed the Big Bang theory, has been found on a video that was lost nearly 60 years ago.
No, the Big Bang theory is not 'broken.' Here's how we know.
Researchers confirmed that the distant galaxies discovered by the James Webb Space Telescope are, indeed, perfectly compatible with our modern understanding of cosmology.
