The Universe Is Not Expanding Uniformly

A few weeks ago, researchers announced the discovery of a "dark flow" of invisible matter tugging at distant galaxy clusters at the edge of the universe. Now comes more evidence of unseen and unknown forces in the cosmos, but this time its closer to home. A group of researchers have discovered that our particular part of the Universe — out to a distance of 400 million light years — is not expanding uniformly in all directions as expected. To be exact, the expansion is faster in one half of the sky than in the other. "It's as if, in addition to the expansion, our 'neighbourhood' in the Universe has an extra kick in a certain direction," says Mike Hudson from the University of Waterloo in Ontario, Canada. "We expected the expansion to become more uniform on increasingly larger scales, but that's not what we found.

Cosmic strings might emit cosmic sparks, answer cosmological questions

(PhysOrg.com) -- For astronomers, understanding what happened in the early moments of the universe could answer many questions in physics and astronomy. One possible player in the early universe is cosmic strings, which arise naturally in particle physics models. However, cosmic strings are quite strange hypothetical entities: they’re thinner than a proton, but can be as long as the universe. Cosmic strings might have formed as imperfections when the early universe was undergoing drastic phase changes.

Science's Alternative To an Intelligent Creator

Hugh Pickens writes "Discover magazine has an interesting article on the multiverse theory — a synthesis of string theory and the anthropic principle that explains why our universe seems perfectly tailored for life without invoking an intelligent creator. Our universe may be but one of perhaps infinitely many universes in an inconceivably vast multiverse. While most of those universes are barren, some, like ours, have conditions suitable for life. The idea that the universe was made just for us — known as the anthropic principle — debuted in 1973 when Brandon Carter proposed that a purely random assortment of laws would have left the universe dead and dark, and that life limits the values that physical constants can have. The anthropic principle languished on the fringes of science for years, but in 2000, new theoretical work threat

NASA's Swift Catches Farthest-Ever Gamma-Ray Burst

WASHINGTON, Sept. 19 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- NASA's Swift satellite has found the most distant gamma-ray burst ever detected. The blast, designated GRB 080913, arose from an exploding star 12.8 billion light-years away. "This is the most amazing burst Swift has seen," said the mission's lead scientist Neil Gehrels at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md. "It's coming to us from near the edge of the visible universe." Because light moves at finite speed, looking farther into the universe means looking back in time. GRB 080913's "lookback time" reveals that the burst occurred less than 825 million years after the universe began. The star that caused this "shot seen across the cosmos" died when the universe was less than one-seventh its present age.

Colossal Black Holes Common In Early Universe, Spectacular Galactic Collision Suggests

Astronomers think that many - perhaps all - galaxies in the universe contain massive black holes at their centers. New observations with the Submillimeter Array now suggest that such colossal black holes were common even 12 billion years ago, when the universe was only 1.7 billion years old and galaxies were just beginning to form.

Midway Releases New Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe Video Featuring The Joker

Today Midway released the second Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe, "Mortal Monday" trailer, this week focusing on The Joker and his involvement within the Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe storyline.

"Dark Flow" Outside Observable Universe

DynaSoar writes "NASA astrophysicists have discovered what they claim is something outside the observable universe exerting an effect on the observable. The material is pulling clusters of galaxies towards a region of space known not to contain sufficient matter to create the effect. They can only speculate on what the material is and how space might differ there: 'In these regions, space-time might be very different, and likely doesn't contain stars and galaxies (which only formed because of the particular density pattern of mass in our bubble). It could include giant, massive structures much larger than anything in our own observable universe. These structures are what researchers suspect are tugging on the galaxy clusters, causing the dark flow.

Colossal black holes were common in early Universe

London, Oct 17 : Astronomers have found two very different galaxies in the distant Universe involved in a spectacular collision, which reveal that colossal black holes were common in the early Universe.

Throwing Light On The Dark Side Of The Universe

Although we may believe humans know a lot about the Universe, there are still a lot of phenomena to be explained. A team of cosmologists from the University of the Basque Country are searching for the model that best explains the evolution of the Universe.

This Week's "Where In the Universe?" Challenge

Have you seen this image before? You know you have. It's probably right on the tip of your tongue. This is the image for this week's "Where In The Universe?" challenge. The goal of this challenge is to test your skills and visual knowledge of our universe. Guess the name of this image, and give yourself extra points if you can guess the telescope or project that this image came from (is that a clue? It's not from a spacecraft…). As always, don't peek below before you make your guess. Comments on how you did are welcome.

Colliding galaxies reveal colossal black holes were common in early universe

New observations made with the Submillimeter Array (SMA) of telescopes in Hawaii suggest that black holes — thought to exist in many, if not all, galaxies — were common even in the early universe, when galaxies were just forming. Astronomers have found two very different galaxies in the distant universe, both with colossal black holes at their heart, involved in a spectacular collision.

Even Early Galaxies Had Supermassive Black Holes

We're learning more about black holes and the early universe all the time, with the help of all the amazing ground-based telescopes astronomers now have at their disposal. Astronomers think that many - perhaps all - galaxies in the universe contain massive black holes at their centers. New observations with the Submillimeter Array now suggest that such colossal black holes were common even 12 billion years ago, when the universe was only 1.7 billion years old and galaxies were just beginning to form. The new conclusion comes from the discovery of two distant galaxies, both with black holes at their centers, which are involved in a spectacular collision.

Are We Close to Finding Dark Matter?

Scientists say he search for the mysterious substance which makes up most of the Universe could soon be at an end. A massive computer simulation was used to show the evolution of a galaxy like the Milky Way, and analysts were able to "see" gamma-rays given off by dark matter. Dark matter is believed to account for 85 per cent of the Universe's mass but has remained invisible to telescopes since scientists inferred its existence from its gravitational effects more than 75 years ago. If the computations are correct, the findings could help NASA's Fermi Telescope to search for the dark matter and open a new chapter in our understanding of the Universe.
