Astronomers have tested a method for reconstructing the state of the early Universe by applying it to 4000 simulated universes using the ATERUI II supercomputer. They found that together with new observations the method can set better constraints on inflation, one of the most enigmatic events in the history of the Universe. The method can shorten the observation time required to distinguish between various inflation theories. #cosmiclock

Have you ever wished you could jump into another world–another reality? Maybe you already have! There is an unspoken assumption that we all agree that there exists one consistent set of true historical events–and therefore can expect that all our individual memories ought to correspond to this singular, objective reality. That’s an unspoken assumption, and […]

If antimatter and matter are truly identical but mirrored copies of each other, they should have been produced in equal amounts in the Big Bang. Using the LHCb experiment at CERN to study the difference between matter and antimatter, we have discovered a new way that this difference can appear. #antimatter
