"The singularity is the most mysterious and problematic part of a black hole. It's where our concepts of space and time ...

Theoretical physicists James Hartle and Stephen Hawking, for example, proposed that rather than having a strict beginning as we would understand it, the universe evolved out of a "no-boundary" state ...

Most theories describe the singularity of black hole as a particularly brutal end, but a new study suggests this ...

A new theory suggests our universe and a time-reversed twin could emerge together. This quantum approach avoids singularities ...

What if everything we know—the stars, the galaxies, the expanding fabric of space-time—isn’t floating in a limitless void, ...

A new theory challenges the standard model of cosmology, arguing that dark matter and dark energy are not the forces behind ...

Dr. Richard Lieu, a physics professor at The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH), a part of The University of Alabama ...

Teleology is the idea that some processes in nature are directed toward a goal or an end. Today, it is commonly asserted that ...

The universe will begin contracting, eventually collapsing under its own gravity and ending in a black hole singularity, a scenario scientists call the Big Crunch. How can any of this be proven?

with an "anti-universe" twin where time runs in the opposite direction—rather than exploding from an infinitely small and dense point, or "singularity." This is the conclusion of physicist Naman Kumar ...
