The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), launched in 2022, continues to reshape how we view the cosmos. Designed to look deeper into space and further back in time than any previous instrument, it has ...

A further assumption, similar to but distinct and independent from homogeneity, is that the universe is also isotropic, meaning it has no preferred directions.

The Universe in a lab: Testing alternate cosmology using a cloud of atoms We can't experiment with the Universe, but we can make something that works like it.

A further assumption, similar to but distinct and independent from homogeneity, is that the Universe is also isotropic, meaning it has no preferred directions.

Dr Eoin Ó Colgáin of ATU has led a study that suggests the universe is not isotropic, casting doubt on our understanding of its shape.

New research suggests that dark energy isn't needed to explain the acceleration in the expansion of the universe — instead suggesting giant voids in space are creating an illusion.

“This stems from the idea that we live in an ‘isotropic’ universe, which means that the universe looks roughly the same in every direction.

In other words, on a cosmic scale, the Universe is quite small. There are several reasons why cosmologists think the Universe is large. One is the distribution of galaxy clusters. If the Universe ...

A new hypothesis suggests that the universe may be twice as old as we had believed. Observations from the James Webb Space Telescope provide new information on the rate of the universe’s expansion.

Get Instant Summarized Text (GIST) A methodology using weak gravitational lensing is proposed to test the Cosmological Principle, which assumes the universe is homogeneous and isotropic.

A further assumption, similar to but distinct and independent from homogeneity, is that the Universe is also isotropic, meaning it has no preferred directions. These assumptions underlie the Standard ...
