"General relativity is likely incomplete for describing the very first moments of the universe, when quantum effects should ...

A new cosmological theory is challenging the traditional Big Bang model by proposing that the universe originated from a gravitational collapse that created a black hole. According to a study ...

Asking what existed before the Big Bang is often dismissed as meaningless, since traditional physics breaks down when pushed that far back in time. Yet a new paper published in Living Reviews in ...

Black holes formed before the Big Bang may still exist as cosmic fossils, offering new clues about dark matter and the origin ...

A Gravity Theory That Could Rewrite the Universe’s First Moments The first fraction of a second after the Big Bang has always posed a problem. Physics can describe a great deal about the universe ...

The Big Bang is often described as the explosive birth of the universe—a singular moment when space, time and matter sprang into existence. But what if this was not the beginning at all? What if our ...

Imagine we had somehow filmed the whole history of the universe and you could play the movie in reverse. It would start off much as things stand today: a vast and elegant web of galaxies and nebulae.

I can accept the apparent violation of the light-speed-limit in the Big Bang theory by picturing there being no space at all before the BB. Before there was nothing, not even space. Then there was ...
