Misconceptions About the Universe
The universe’s expansion can make distant galaxies appear to be moving away faster than light without violating Einstein’s special relativity—because...
Science, Religion, and the Big Bang
The universe’s “beginning” is now treated as a consequence of cosmic expansion: rewind the expansion using general relativity and the cosmos shrinks...
Did Time Start at the Big Bang?
The Big Bang didn’t “start time” in the literal, clock-like way many people learn in school; in the standard Einstein general-relativity picture, the...
Weird Things Begin to Happen When You Go into Deep Space
Deep space fear isn’t just about emptiness—it’s about learning that the universe’s most “known” facts can be as terrifying as its unknowns. The...
Where Is The Center of The Universe?
The universe may not have a center at all—yet the Big Bang can still be “pointed to” from anywhere, thanks to how spacetime geometry works in general...
The NEW Crisis in Cosmology
Cosmology’s “Hubble tension” has sharpened rather than softened: two high-precision ways of measuring the universe’s expansion rate still disagree,...
What Happened Before the Big Bang?
Inflationary cosmology offers a concrete answer to what might have happened “before” the hot, dense Big Bang: the universe likely underwent a phase...
The Andromeda-Milky Way Collision
In about four billion years, the Andromeda Galaxy will collide with the Milky Way, tearing both spiral galaxies apart and reshaping the night sky for...
Terence Tao continuing history’s cleverest cosmological measurements
Distance in astronomy isn’t measured directly so much as assembled—step by step—into a “cosmic distance ladder.” The central insight is that once one...
How We Know The Universe is Ancient
Astronomers can assign a precise “birthday” to the universe—about 13.8 billion years ago—even though no direct relic from the first moments survives....
Space DOES NOT Expand Everywhere
Cosmic expansion doesn’t mean every gravitationally bound system is getting pulled apart in lockstep with the universe’s overall growth. On the...
The Crisis in Cosmology
Cosmology is facing a direct, high-precision standoff over one number that ties the universe’s past to its future: the Hubble constant (H0), the...
Deciphering The Vast Scale of the Universe | STELLAR
The universe’s scale became measurable—and therefore believable—once astronomers could turn “fuzzy blobs” in the sky into objects with real...
How Much Of The Universe Can Humanity Ever See?
Humanity’s ultimate view of the universe is capped not by telescope power, but by cosmic horizons shaped by expansion and dark energy. Light from...
Can The Crisis in Cosmology Be SOLVED With Cosmic Voids?
Cosmic voids may be able to reshape two of cosmology’s biggest headaches at once: the “Hubble tension” (a roughly 10% mismatch between the universe’s...
2021 End of Year AMA!
The AMA’s biggest through-line is a push to treat quantum and astrophysics questions as solvable puzzles—then admit where the answers are still...
