do gravity waves plus cmbr equal inflation?

For inflation to remain cosmology's top theory of how the universe grew into what we see today, we need to find the right gravitational waves in experiments ramping up to do just that.

other universes, found only on the arxiv blog…

Continuing the trend of looking too closely to CMBR maps, a group of cosmologists says they found evidence of "bruises" from collisions with other universes.

mining physics for "groundbreaking" papers

A new paper concludes that black holes are periodically giving birth to new universes. How it arrives at that conclusion raises a lot of questions.

the universe's dark side prepares for a siege

Two astronomers think they found evidence in the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation that the amount of dark matter in the universe is far smaller than currently thought.

an appeasement of cosmic proportions

Creationists and theologians often call the Big Bang theory an origin story for atheists. But that comparison ignores the easily confirmed evidence that it more than likely happened.
