This tension between Being and Becoming was recorded in early Greek philosophy. Parmenides presented reality as timeless, unified and changeless — the true Being admits no coming-to-being or ...

Today we are going to talk about cosmology and the fact that black holes were considered as an almost unbelievable idea. In the 30s, British astronomer Arthur ...

Astroparticle physics and particle cosmology represent converging disciplines that strive to understand the universe from its largest structures down to its most fundamental constituents. In this ...

Astronomers found evidence that dark matter and neutrinos may interact, hinting at a "fundamental breakthrough" that challenges our understanding of how the universe evolved.

A supercharged neutrino that smashed into our planet in 2023 may have been spit out by an exploding primordial black hole ...

For the past few years, a series of controversies have rocked the well-established field of cosmology. In a nutshell, the predictions of the standard model of the universe appear to be at odds with ...

Dark matter remains one of the most compelling enigmas in modern cosmology. Although it does not emit light, its gravitational influence is essential for the formation and evolution of cosmic ...
