The free lunch that made our universe

Wed, 19 Nov 2008 00:00:00 GMT

Why is there something rather than nothing? Physics can provide the answer

Quantum effects bring no solace for physicists

Mon, 17 Nov 2008 10:36:00 GMT

Quantum uncertainties in space-time will make it impossible to ever know for sure that all of nature's forces were once unified

Is Earth at the heart of a giant cosmic void?

Wed, 12 Nov 2008 00:00:00 GMT

We assume that there is nothing particularly special about our cosmic neighbourhood, but abandoning that assumption might solve one of cosmology's most pressing problems

Swiss-cheese model of the cosmos is full of holes

Sat, 18 Oct 2008 09:00:00 GMT

Last year, a team suggested that if the universe was populated by giant voids, it would do away with the need for dark energy, but now that seems unlikely
