Heitmann is also part of the SkAI team working on computational cosmology. “Our lab’s advanced computational ... Science is the single largest supporter of basic research in the physical sciences in ...

Existing and future gravitational-wave detectors will observe signals so precisely that they will be able to detect possible deviations from Einstein’s theory of relativity and the standard model of ...

Our most powerful telescopes have revealed that the cosmos is surprisingly simple on the largest visible scales. Likewise, ...

Estimates of how fast the universe is expanding disagree. Could a new form of dark energy resolve the problem?

There may well be simpler, more powerful and more testable explanations for the basic properties of the universe than those ...

Before JWST's observations are used to invoke changes to broad ideas of cosmology, a more detailed understanding of the physical processes in galaxies is essential. The current record holder for ...
