Did the early universe have just one spatial dimension? That’s the mind-boggling concept at the heart of a theory that UB physicist Dejan Stojkovic and colleagues proposed in 2010. They suggested that ...

What if reality is more than we can perceive? Scientists believe the universe may have 11 dimensions, shaping the very fabric of existence! Learn how string theory and higher dimensions could explain ...

Physicists have taken a bold step beyond Einstein's special theory of relativity, proposing an expansion of special relativity that includes observers moving faster than light. This fresh perspective ...

Dark matter could be even weirder than anyone thought, say cosmologists who are suggesting this mysterious substance that accounts for more than 80% of the universe's mass could interact with itself. ...

The universe began with an unimaginably hot, dense state. Inflation rapidly expanded the universe's size. Before inflation, the universe existed in a period called the GUT era where forces were ...
