Astronomers have uncovered an ultra-rare star that could reshape our understanding of the early universe. Named PicII‑503, this 14-billion-year-old star has survived almost since the Big Bang and ...

Relax, it’s only happening in theoretical physics—at least for now.

The plot represents the new model with the x-axis and the y-axis showing the minimum sizes of collapsing and expanding regions that can impact cosmological measurements. The contours are independent ...
