Largest-Ever Survey of Cosmic History Confirms That Dark Energy Exists, Is Tearing the Universe Apart
Posted by admin in Space on 21. May, 2011 | 0 Comments
The Cosmic Microwave Background After a five-year study of 200,000 galaxies, scientists are more certain than ever that dark energy acts as a repulsive force, tearing the universe apart at an accelerating rate. The research confirms the idea that dark energy dominates gravity throughout the cosmos. But no one has any idea what dark energy [...]
Big Bang Recreated in a Metamaterial, Offers Evidence That Time Travel is Impossible

Toy Big Bang, and a Model for the Real Thing Metamaterials can be used to create desktop black holes and simulate multiverses; now a physicist is using them to prove time travel can’t happen. In a new paper, University of Maryland professor and metamaterial theorist Igor Smolyaninov says mapping light distribution in a metamaterial can [...]

‘Cosmic Bruises’ in the CMB Just when the search for exoplanets looked like the undisputed fashionable field of study for 2010, the cosmic microwave background (CMB) is stepping to the forefront of astronomy and cosmology. Last month, it was Oxford’s Roger Penrose claiming that he’d found evidence of a cyclical universe in patterns of concentric [...]

The Cosmic Microwave Background The current widely-held theory of life, the universe, and everything holds that at some point roughly 13.7 billion years ago everything that now is was packed into a tight little package from which sprung the Big Bang, which violently hurled everything into existence. But 13.7 billion years to get to where [...]
