Central to their findings is a phenomenon called dark energy. This was discovered in 1998, when astronomers found that the ...

Tue, April 8, 2025 at 6:00 PM UTC The centuries-long Copernican journey of slowly displacing humans from the center of everything has provided our species with an unprecedented understanding of our ...

IF YOU consider them separately, these two observations are hardly going to set the scientific world on fire. But together they add up to a spectacular possibility. In a tiny region of sky, ...

Physicists claim they may have found a long-awaited explanation for dark energy, the mysterious force that's driving the accelerated expansion of the universe, a new preprint study hints. Their ...

Signatures of the extra dimensions required by string theory could be seen by future gravitational-wave detectors. That is the conclusion of David Andriot and Gustavo Lucena Gómez at the Max Planck ...

We assume theories need experimental proof to be credible. But philosopher of science Richard Dawid argues that string theory has earned trust through a different route: meta-empirical assessment.

Researchers at Northeastern University and the University of California, Irvine say that scientists might soon have evidence for extra dimensions and other exotic predictions of string theory. Early ...

(via Sabine Hossenfelder) The BBC claims that researchers have found the first evidence for string theory, citing a recent discovery of long-wavelength gravitational waves that might indicate the ...
