The accelerating expansion of the Universe has puzzled scientists since its discovery in 1998. This phenomenon, one of the most profound mysteries in physics, challenges our understanding of the ...

For over 100 years, two theories have shaped our understanding of the universe: quantum mechanics and Einstein’s general relativity. One explains the tiny world of particles; the other describes ...

An international team led by Japanese researchers has made a 3D map of 3000 galaxies 13 billion light years from Earth, and found that Einstein’s general theory of relativity is still valid. Since it ...

Solar eclipses occasion lots of excitement and pique the public's interest in astronomical phenomena. Eclipses can also expand our understanding of the universe in profound ways. In fact, astronomical ...

Journal for General Philosophy of Science / Zeitschrift für allgemeine Wissenschaftstheorie, Vol. 50, No. 1 (March 2019), pp. 13-27 (15 pages) In a way similar to classical mechanics where we have the ...

Since 1915 when Albert Einstein published his theory of general relativity, scientists have worked on testing its limits, and with the results of this 16-year test, it still holds up. Professor ...

When I was in graduate school an eon ago, I was forced to take a sequence of advanced courses in research methods and statistics. These classes were heavy on math and statistical theory. I'd earned my ...
