Could dark energy change over time? Scientists find an unusual idea hiding in a well-known theory of gravity

2+ hour, 57+ min ago   (292+ words) Credit: Istanbul Technical University, adapted from Figs. 5 and 8 of Akarsu et al., Phys. Rev. D 112, 083532 (2025) An old map of gravity reveals an overlooked route In an exponential version of this theory, past cosmological studies had followed a single mathematical path,…...

Symbolic Dimensional Nesting: 4D Cubit 5D Universes 6D-1 Overlay (Hanlon Collapse Framework)

1+ hour, 54+ min ago   (260+ words) A 4D cubit is the linear baseline stride. It nests inside 5D universes (compact curl / gravity-leak layer). A 6D cubit then overlays a chiral / “ghost” (-1) layer for multiversal parity. An offset fork (5D-4 or 5D-5) exists purely for balance — even parity vs. odd/chiral parity....

NASA’s SPHEREx telescope shows brown dwarfs have atmospheres similar to our solar system giants

3+ hour, 54+ min ago   (169+ words) Zafar Rustamkulov, lead author of the study and a scientist at IPAC, Caltech’s science and data center in Pasadena, California, states that SPHEREx, stationed in its orbit, has the ability to spot wavelengths that cannot be observed by ground-based telescopes,…...

Oct. 9, 1873: The birth of Karl Schwarzschild

2+ day, 18+ hour ago   (182+ words) Today in the history of astronomy, the man who lays the foundation for our understanding of black holes is born. Karl Schwarzschild was born Oct. 9, 1873 – just one day after his famous collaborator Ejnar Hertzsprung – and grew up in a Jewish…...

For the first time, a potentially habitable rocky planet shows signs of an atmosphere

9+ hour, 30+ min ago   (517+ words) This summer, astronomers took one small step forward in the search for life beyond Earth. To find aliens, you first have to find a planet hospitable to life. Based on Earth, the only example we have, scientists think that means…...

Scientists challenge evidence for the most powerful explosions in the universe

14+ hour, 49+ min ago   (1053+ words) Stars once thought to provide evidence of hypernovae may instead owe their unusual chemistry to ordinary supernovae that scatter elements unevenly. In recent years, a handful of unusual stars have been cited as evidence for extraordinarily powerful stellar explosions called…...

Pantheistic Hierarchical Cosmology | by Jhon | Oct, 2026

15+ hour, 10+ min ago   (557+ words) A Philosophical Perspective on God, the Universe, and Cosmic Hierarchy Humanity has long questioned the relationship between God and the universe. One interesting perspective is pantheism, a philosophical view that identifies God with the universe or reality as a whole....

Astronomers Discover a “Universal” Trigger for Black Hole Jets

15+ hour, 57+ min ago   (1153+ words) Rare stellar deaths have given astronomers a new clue to when supermassive black holes suddenly produce jets. Black holes separated by millions of times in mass may follow the same rule when they launch powerful jets into space. The research,…...

The Geometry of the Gap: An Exploratory Reading of the Casimir Effect Through the Phase Ocean and the Zeta Function

17+ hour, 9+ min ago   (537+ words) By Supat Charoensappuech, in collaboration with Qwen 3.7 Plus (October 11, 2026) This article does not seek to announce a “discovery,” disprove standard quantum electrodynamics (QED), or claim a definitive solution to the Casimir effect. It is merely an act of observation and…...
