What is the Universe? Centuries of human thought have "taught" us what it is. We've created our own concept of what the Universe is, but could we be wrong?
|

Scientists have discovered Methuselah, what is being called and "impossible star," which appears to be potentially older than the universe.
|
|
A new, more advanced technique for measuring the ages of large numbers of stars like the sun has been proposed by astrophysicists.

Cambridge -
As the universe persists in its expansion, cosmologists in the future will continue to understand less. In fact, according to one theory, the best time to learn about the cosmos was more than 13 billion years ago.

Pasadena -
New research in dwarf galaxies, satellites of our own, is now helping scientists better understand dark matter. Peering into the darkest depths of these neighboring systems have shown nothing, and that nothingness is what everyone is excited about.
|
|
Heidelberg -
German astronomers have discovered a planetary system deemed a survivor of the very early universe. The ancient system is an astonishing 13 billion years old, and raises the question of how such early stars and planets might have formed.

Burnaby -
A team of Canadian physicists have measured an antimatter atom for the first time. The research could prove to be important in understanding the Big Bang and the creation of the universe.

This is a major issue in the making. Forget all previous theories, stars have now been shown to be able to create organic materials. Complex organic materials are literally everywhere.
|
|
The Bolshoi cosmological simulations team has released advanced calculations and thrilling images from this grand-scale 3-D model and movie of the universe of matter and energy, the most detailed and accurate so far, the researchers have claimed.
|

London -
Theoretical physicists in Great Britain are now conducting tests for the very first time to find evidence of multiple alternative universes, otherwise known as a multiverse. A team of cosmologists will search the cosmic microwave background radiation.
|

Pasadena -
Astronomers at the University of Maryland have discovered the largest and oldest mass of water in the universe. It's a 12-billion-year-old cloud located near a supermassive black hole and contains 140 trillion times more water than Earth's oceans.
|
|
Scientists announced this week that they have found the densest form of matter in the known universe. This exotic material may be the parent of all known matter.
|
|
New Haven -
A new study shows that the universe is larger than what we originally estimated. By analyzing elliptical galaxies, scientists found hundreds of millions of cool, small stars known as red dwarfs. This could possibly mean “trillions of Earths."
|
|
The universe is getting more crowded by the day. New telescopes and technologies are allowing astronomers to discover new astronomical objects all the time, such as ten new galaxy clusters found recently by the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT).
|
|
Paris -
The Hubble Space Telescope has discovered the oldest object in the universe: Galaxy UDFy-38135539, which is approximately 600 million years old. However, scientists are already discussing the likelihood of discovering an object older than that.

A slice of the Bolshoi supercomputer simulation of the universe, which is based on the Lambda Cold Dark Matter (ΛCDM) cosmogeny that hypothesizes a cosmic web of dark matter underlying the large-scale universe, driving galaxy and galaxy cluster formation through gravitational effects on ordinary matter.

Internal view of the Stanford torus space station design. Artist's description: "The 1975 NASA Ames/Stanford University Summer Study worked out the broad engineering requirements for a toroidal shaped space colony design. This painting used the design, but I refused to fill the interior with the 'shopping mall gone mad' clutter of other drawings. Again the challenge of sustaining something like a closed ecosystem was a theme I wanted to emphasize. This design became known as the 'Stanford Torus'
