A version of an iconic experiment to confirm quantum theory has for the first time used the light of distant stars to bolster the case for a phenomenon that Albert Einstein referred to as “spooky ...

New research challenges the standard cosmological model, suggesting that the universe may be asymmetric or lopsided rather than uniform in all directions.

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I cover aerospace, astronomy & hosted The Cosmic Controversy Podcast. What does light from the most distant objects in the ...

Researchers in the UK and Finland claim to have simulated some possible aspects of the early universe in a test tube of liquid helium-3. The experiment, which involves “colliding” the boundaries ...

In this interview, Johannes Handsteiner describes an experiment to test the foundations of quantum mechanics. Handsteiner was part of a team at the Institute for Quantum Optics and Quantum Information ...

In 2019, the MAGIC telescopes detected the first Gamma Ray Burst at very high energies. This was the most intense gamma-radiation ever obtained from such a cosmic object. But the GRB data have more to ...

It's another victory for Einstein -- albeit not a resounding one. General relativity has been confirmed at the largest scale yet. But the galactic tests used to put the theory through its paces cannot ...
