For the past few years, a series of controversies have rocked the well-established field of cosmology. In a nutshell, the predictions of the standard model of the universe appear to be at odds with ...

A recent study published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters has provided the most precise distance to the Coma Cluster of galaxies yet - and also has deepened a crisis in cosmology. The problem is ...

For most of modern cosmology, scientists have worked with a surprisingly simple assumption: the mysterious force driving the ...

What are the mysterious dark matter and dark energy that seem to account for so much of our universe? Why is the universe expanding? For the past 30 years, most cosmologists have looked to the ...

Viscous cosmology explores the influence of internal frictional effects in the cosmic fluid on the large-scale dynamics of the universe. In this framework, bulk and shear viscosity act as dissipative ...
