Does the universe behave the same way everywhere? 
Rome, Italy (SPX) Feb 18, 2025 "The cosmological principle is like an ultimate kind of statement of humility," says James Adam, an astrophysicist at the University of the Western Cape in Cape Town, South Africa, and lead author of a new study. The Cosmological Principle posits that no specific location in the Universe is unique or central, and that on the largest scales, the cosmos exhibits uniformity in all directions. This assumption forms the foundation of the Standard Model of Cosmology, which describes the Universe's evolution a ... read more |

Groundwork begins for LISA space detector
Berlin, Germany (SPX) Aug 27, 2024 In early 2024, the European Space Agency approved the launch of LISA, the first gravitational-wave observatory in space, set for 2034. Unlike ground-based detectors, LISA will observe a distinct part of the gravitational-wave spectrum, revealing new types of signals. This advancement presents significant challenges for scientists, who must now develop theoretical frameworks and data-analysis tools to fully utilize LISA's capabilities. To address these needs, around 140 researchers will gather at t ... read more 
Gravitational Waves Linked to Dark Matter and Big Bang MysteriesRiverside CA (SPX) July 12, 2024 Gravitational waves, ripples in space-time predicted by Einstein almost a century ago, were first detected in 2015. A new study led by Yanou Cui, an associate professor of physics and astronomy at t ... more |
