Cosmic Consciousness: Dr. Manhattan & Nietzsche’s Zarathustra

Limited Supplies in Our Cosmic Future

I am sorry to be the bearer of bad cosmic news. But our supplies are limited in the long-term future of the Universe. If we stay within our host Milky-Way galaxy, the supplies would at most double after the merger with our sister galaxy, Andromeda, in a few billion years. But beyond t...

What was it like when life first became possible?

The cosmic story that unfolded following the Big Bang is ubiquitous no matter where you are. The formation of atomic nuclei, atoms, stars, galaxies, planets, complex molecules, and eventually life is a part of the shared history of everyone and everything in the Universe. Even though all of these th...

The Cosmic Race Between Stars and Black Holes

Over the full cosmic history of the past 13.8 billion years after the Big Bang, supermassive black holes and stars produced roughly the same amount of energy output. Since both engines feed on gas, this suggests that their growth inside galaxies was self-regulated by their output. Indeed, we know th...

What was it like when the cosmic dark ages ended?

For 550 million years, neutral atoms blocked the light made in stars from traveling freely through the Universe. Here’s how it then changed. Forming stars sounds like the easiest thing in the Universe to do, given enough time. However, making stars that are actually visible to an observer i...

Unraveling the Cosmic Mystery: Exploring the Enigma of the Universe

A significant portion of the cosmos is composed of mysterious entities known as dark matter and dark energy. Dark matter, which does not emit, absorb, or reflect light, comprises around 27% of the universe. Its gravitational effects are observed in the rotation of galaxies and the large-scale struct...

Most distant black hole raises a huge cosmic question

It may even be possible, although there are some compelling physics reasons to think not, that the Universe was born with primordial black holes: a population of black holes that sprang into existence long before the very first stars ever formed. These scenarios are particularly important when it co...

What was it like when the cosmic web formed?

Qualitatively, that allows us to put a relatively simple picture together that puts all of these facts in their proper context. The Universe was born with only very tiny imperfections, but gravitation causes those density imperfections to grow, all while the Universe expands. Depending on how, where...

How Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom explains cosmic reionization

When the Universe as we know it began with the hot Big Bang, it was filled with all sorts of energetic particles, antiparticles, and quanta of radiation: a primordial soup of the cosmos. Over time, it expanded and cooled, finally becoming cool enough to produce stable, neutral atoms after a few hund...

5 “What ifs” that would’ve changed cosmic history

When we look out at the Universe from our perspective here and now, we only get a snapshot of existence, defined by the properties of the light, particles, and gravitational waves that we observe at the moment of their arrival. Based on all that we’ve seen, combined with our theories, framewor...

Cosmic inflation solves the ‘past hypothesis’ problem

Right now, at this very moment, the total amount of entropy contained within the observable Universe is greater than it’s ever been before. Tomorrow’s entropy will be even greater, while yesterday, the entropy wasn’t quite as great as it is today. With each passing moment, inevitab...

Stephen Hawking’s book A Brief History of Time: From the Big Bang to Black Holes explores the…

The Big Bang, which occurred around 13.8 billion years ago and heralded the beginning of the universe, is the subject of a gripping account that opens the book. Hawking explains how the stars, galaxies, and planets that we see today were created when the universe began as an extremely hot, dense sta...

What is cosmic microwave background radiation?

What they had accidentally discovered was radiation left over from the beginning of the universe. However, this description is not entirely accurate. As we look further back in time, the universe becomes progressively hotter. If we go back far enough, the universe was so hot that it could ionise ...

Can We Harmonize Tuning into the Cosmic Hum

Cosmic Shortcuts: Traveling in Time with Wormholes

A wormhole is a theoretical bridge between two very distant points in space. So if I want to go from point A, Vancouver, to point B, Florida, the easiest thing to do would be to travel in a straight line, as you can see above in a scene from the movie Event Horizon. However, if I can create a wormho...

What Have We Done to Deserve a Cosmic Partner?

A few days ago, I delivered a keynote lecture in a public celebration at the city of Toruń in Poland, the birthplace of Nicolaus Copernicus 550 years earlier, on the subject of “The Next Copernican Revolution.” Copernicus inferred from data that we are not located at the center of the U...

How has the cosmic distance record progressed over time?

The Moon and planets sometimes occult stars, demonstrating that stars are farther. When one astronomical object occupies the same line-of-sight as another, an occultation will occur, as the “closer” object blocks the light that would otherwise be visible from the “farther&rd...

The Cosmic Race Between Stars and Black Holes

What was it like when the cosmic dark ages ended?

What was it like at the beginning of the Big Bang?

Looking out at our Universe today, we not only see a huge variety of stars and galaxies both nearby and far away, we also see a curious relationship: the farther away a distant galaxy is, the faster it appears to move away from us. This continues as far as we’ve ever looked, and remains true o...

Cosmic Shortcuts: Traveling in Time with Wormholes

What about the speed of light? Our nearest star is Proxima Centauri, just over four light-years away. Now, with a wormhole, if we can connect a point in space just outside the Earth’s atmosphere to a point near Proxima Centauri, you can basically fly a spaceship and instantly appear in th...

What was it like when cosmic inflation occurred?

Cosmic inflation is the state that preceded and set up the hot Big Bang. Here’s what the Universe was like during that time period. Our Universe today is full of matter and radiation, and can be observed by us through a variety of means. Atoms have clumped and clustered together due to bill...

Ask Ethan: Can we see the cosmic neutrino background?

One of the hardest concepts to wrap our head around is that of the hot Big Bang: the notion that our Universe began 13.8 billion years ago from an extraordinarily hot, dense, uniform, and rapidly expanding state. Initially, all known species of particles and antiparticles confirmed to exist, along w...
