Researchers find substantial observational evidence for a holographic Universe
... information the team found that some of the simplest quantum field theories could explain nearly all cosmological observations of the early universe – in fact, as much as there is for the traditional explanation of these irregularities using the...

Astronomers spot a possible dwarf planet on the edges of the Solar System
... Survey is an optical survey of 5000 square degrees of the southern sky and despite being used primarily for cosmological purposes, its broad off-ecliptic coverage means it is very well-suited to spotting objects within the scattered...

Dark Matter Map revealed by researchers
... from massive clusters which are extremely rare in the universe and hence unlikely to appear in present-day cosmological simulations, thus adding to the authenticity of the map. "With the data of these three lensing clusters we have...

Cold Spot in CMB could be evidence for a multiverse
... presence of 'voids' or a ‘super-void.’ "The voids we have detected cannot explain the Cold Spot under standard cosmology. There is the possibility that some non-standard model could be proposed to link the two in the future...

A new way to search for gravitational waves?
... team based in the UK thinks so. Located at Cambridge University, the Cavendish Laboratory and the Kavli Institute for Cosmology, the team have suggested that astrometric data from ESA’s space-astrometry mission Gaia, could help...

Have astronomers found the missing mass in the Universe?
... to be missing. Finding the remaining 95 percent of baryons has since been one of the major challenges in modern cosmology . Simulations to predict where the ‘missing baryons’ might be residing had revealed that they could be spread throughout ...
