In 1980, Stephen Hawking gave his first lecture as Lucasian Professor at the University of Cambridge. The lecture was called "Is the end in sight for theoretical physics?" Forty-five years later, ...

String theory's equations give rise to a near infinite variety of potential universes in a 'landscape.' This landscape is surrounded by a 'swampland' of solutions that are incompatible with any ...

What if our 3D reality is a projection from a 2D surface? Part 2 dives deeper into string theory's claim of 10 hidden dimensions and the radical idea of an infinite cosmos where duplicate Earths and ...

The largest-ever 3D map of the cosmos hints that the dark energy that’s fueling the universe’s expansion may be weakening. One community of theoretical physicists expected as much. On the morning of ...

Our universe might be really, really big — but finite. Or it might be infinitely big. Both cases, says physicist Brian Greene, are possibilities, but if the latter is true, so is another posit: There ...

Analysis: There are gazillions of different possible universes that can be described and understood using the tools provided by string theory If we look out into the sky on a clear night, all we see ...

(NewsNation) — Theoretical physicist Dr. Michio Kaku supports the concept of parallel universes, but he says people shouldn’t get their hopes up about meeting their doppelganger in another dimension, ...

The idea of a multiverse consisting of "parallel universes" is a popular science fiction trope, recently explored in the Oscar-winning movie "Everything Everywhere All At Once." However, it is within ...

Ever wondered how physicists got a reputation for being boring, cosmologists tedious? Wonder no more as Horizon shows what these some of these highly intelligent doyens of the science world have been ...
