The cosmological constant has been a problem in physics since Einstein, but new research may show why it takes the value that ...

In every bit of nothing, there is something. If you zoom in on empty space and take out all the planets and stars and galaxies, you might expect a pure vacuum, but you’d be wrong. In­stead you would ...

The expansion of the universe could be a mirage, a potentially controversial new study suggests. This rethinking of the cosmos also suggests solutions for the puzzles of dark energy and dark matter, ...

The long-standing problem of the cosmological constant, described both as “the worst prediction in the history of physics” and by Einstein as his “biggest blunder”, is being tackled with renewed ...

Can you get rid of all the energy in the room in which you are reading this? Move the room far from the earth’s gravity, then toss out everything made of matter so you can cross off mass, kinetic, and ...

The cosmological constant problem, or the vacuum catastrophe is a discrepency in the observed values of the vaccuum energy ...

The cosmological constant is the mathematical description of the energy that drives the ever-accelerating expansion of the cosmos. It's also the source of one of the most enduring and confounding ...

PROVIDENCE, R.I. [Brown University] — The cosmological constant is the mathematical description of the energy that drives the ever-accelerating expansion of the cosmos. It’s also the source of one of ...
