For a long time, scientists have believed that the universe looks the same no matter where you are or which direction you look. This idea, called the Cosmological Principle, is a key assumption in ...

A study published in the Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics (JCAP) presents a methodology to test the assumption ...

Researchers say they've discovered the largest known object in the universe, a galactic superstructure called Quipu.

The team behind new research on the topic suggests that measuring whether gravitational waves from black hole mergers are ...

A new study published in the Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics (JCAP) presents a methodology to test the ...

The Quipu superstructure is enormous, spanning 1.4 billion light years – and it could violate one of our fundamental ...

A new study proposes a way to use weak gravitational lensing data to test the long-held Cosmological Principle of the ...

Weak gravitational lensing tests if the universe is truly isotropic Euclid Telescope data may reveal deviations in cosmic expansion Findings could reshape cosmology by challenging core assumptions ...

If scientists confirm an anisotropic expansion, it would challenge the assumption that the universe has no preferred directions.

The pillar of modern cosmology—known as the Cosmological Principle—states that, when observed at large scales, the universe is isotropic and homogeneous. This is, all observers in the universe ...
