Matrix models have emerged as a powerful framework in theoretical physics, offering a nonperturbative approach to describing quantum space-time. In these models, fundamental degrees of freedom are ...

What is the actual speed and direction of our solar system as it moves through the cosmos, and how does this compare to longstanding cosmology models? This is what a recent study published in Physical ...

With the increasing power of telescopes and computers, cosmologists today are pushing the boundaries of human knowledge about the universe, seeing further and simulating more accurately that ever ...

The great Russian physicist and Nobel laureate Lev Landau once remarked that “cosmologists are often in error, but never in doubt”. In studying the history of the universe itself, there is always a ...
