The Beginning Of The Universe Explained
I’ve never been exactly sure of how the universe came to be — big bang boom thang a lang — but I’m certainly glad it shaped out the way it has. If you want to finally understand the beginnings of our universe, watch the video by CERN physicist Tom Whyntie.
The Universe Is 80 Million Years Older Than We Thought
We’ve known for ages that the universe is around 13.25 billion years old for a while, but a new study is tweaking that number slightly. Findings by the European Space Agency’s Planck space probe show that the universe is about 80 million years older than previously thought, bringing the total to 13.81 billion.
This Is The Most Detailed Image Of The Universe Ever Captured
NASA has just published the most detailed view of the universe ever taken. It’s called the Extreme Deep Field (XDF) and was created from 10 years of Hubble Space Telescope photographs. The incredible image shows some the oldest galaxies ever observed by humans, going 13.2 billion years back in time.
How To Simulate The Universe On Your Laptop
The universe is a huge, complex, beautiful-yet-terrifying place, and we’ve spent a lot of time studying it. While some of the more complex models of the universe call for supercomputers and lots of processor power, MinutePhysics has one you can run on your laptop.
