Miniature black holes could be hollowing out planets and zipping through our bodies, new study claimsSome physicists say the lingering questions about our universe could be solved by hypothetical objects called primordial black holes. New research claims the evidence of their existence could be right here on Earth.

Scientists analyze largest map of the universe ever created — and it proves Einstein right yet againThe largest survey of our universe ever conducted suggests that it closely matches the model most favored by cosmologists. It's unclear what this means for alternative theories attempting to explain bizarre discrepancies.

'The bottom line is, I told you so': JWST observations upend standard model of how galaxies form, new study claimsThe James Webb Space Telescope's discovery of unusually bright and massive galaxies soon after the Big Bang has cast doubt on the standard model of galaxy evolution and bolstered a rival theory for how physics may work on large scales, according to a team of astronomers.
