A new study links the universe’s expansion to quantum topology, suggesting that hidden mathematical structures may stabilize ...

The cosmological constant is the mathematical description of the energy that drives the ever-accelerating expansion of the cosmos. It's also the source of one of the most enduring and confounding ...

Prof Stephen Hawking’s closest collaborator explains emerging evidence supporting the cosmologist’s final thoughts on time ...

Almost 400 years ago, in The Assayer, Galileo wrote: “Philosophy is written in this grand book, the universe … [But the book] is written in the language of mathematics.” He was much more than an ...

A grand challenge in modern theoretical physics is to find a ‘unified theory’ that can describe all the laws of nature within a single framework – connecting Einstein's general theory of relativity, ...

Astronomers have proposed a new theory to suggest why our universe is expanding at an accelerating rate. That our universe is expanding is in wide agreement, though how exactly that process happens is ...

Set theory serves as a foundational pillar in mathematics, providing the language and tools necessary to discuss infinite collections. A central focus within this discipline is the study of cardinal ...

Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory is so widely accepted that modern mathematicians hardly think about it. But believing in its core ...

Set theory remains the fulcrum of modern mathematical foundations, providing the language and axiomatic structure upon which much of mathematics is built. Predominantly formulated through the ...
