The mission—the Spectro-Photometer for the History of the Universe, Epoch of Reionization and Ices Explorer; or SPHEREx—will ...

Researchers from the University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin) have proposed a new model to explain the origin of dark matter. It suggests that dark matter originated during the infinitesimally ...

A new Scientific Reports study proposes an extension of the electron Born self-energy (eBse) model, unveiling a mechanism for cosmic inflation driven by a constant potential energy density ...

The primary goal of the mission is to probe the theory of “cosmic inflation.” The gist of the theory is that, back in the day - well, literally at the beginning of time and space, the “big ...

Physicist Alan Guth, the father of cosmic inflation theory, describes emerging ideas about where our universe comes from, what else is out there, and what caused it to exist in the first place.

Primordial nucleosynthesis after embryonic inflation, the subject of Chapter 6, yields spatially varying abundances of elements, including heavy elements in all the densest cosmic regions. The theory ...

A spacecraft from NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in La Cañada Flintridge, set to launch as early as Sunday evening, will seek answers to the mystery of cosmic inflation. Before there was ...

Before there was light, there was cosmic inflation. Before life, planet Earth, the first galaxies — and even before the violent explosion of hot dense primordial stuff scientists traditionally ...
