JWST may have finally found the Universe’s First Stars
Astronomers have long theorized about the universe’s first stars—called Population III (Pop III) stars—which formed from pristine hydrogen and helium before any heavier elements existed. ...

Within the framework of the previously proposed formulation of the quantum theory of gravity in terms of world histories, it was suggested that the universe has its own mass. This quantity is analogous to the mass of a particle in relativistic mechan...
The early Universe was composed almost entirely of hydrogen and helium, with only trace amounts of heavy elements. It was only after the first generation of star formation that the Universe became sufficiently polluted to produce a second generation...
We study the realisation of supersymmetric discrete flavour symmetry models to the thermal history of our universe. We focus on the evolution of the pseudo moduli field among the flavons by taking into account finite temperature corrections. We show...
Recent studies suggest the existence of very massive stars (VMS) up to 300 solar masses in the local Universe. As this finding may represent a paradigm shift for the canonical stellar upper-mass limit of 150 solar masses, it is timely to evaluate the...
In this report of the workshop on `Physics of the Very Early Universe' held at GR14, the recent status and open problems in a selected number of major areas of interest are reviewed, focusing on attempts to develop a superstring cosmology and on pr...
The "Extreme starbursts in the local universe" workshop was held at the Insituto de Astrofisica de Andalucia in Granada, Spain on 21-25 June 2010. Bearing in mind the advent of a new generation of facilities such as JWST, Herschel, ALMA, eVLA and e...
Feb 5, 2026 · The new issue of Empire takes a world-exclusive deep-dive into Knight’s Masters Of The Universe, going on set to explore how the Laika legend is bringing the toys to life.
Observations of an apparent acceleration in the expansion rate of the universe, derived from measurements of high-redshift supernovae, have been used to support the hypothesis that the universe is permeated by some form of dark energy. We show that...
We begin by recalling the essentially global character of universes in various models of homotopy type theory, which prevents a straightforward axiomatization of their properties using the internal language of the presheaf toposes from which these mo...
The neutrinoless double beta decay and the direct dark matter detection experiments probe the origins of the two greatest mysteries of the universe, i.e. the baryon asymmetry and the invisible or dark matter. The underlying theoretical ideas are br...
Your angels and the powers of the universe are guiding everything you do. Trust them by following your natural intuition so that you can see just how you are benefiting from their guidance. This angel …
Theoretical cosmologists were quick to be convinced by the evidence presented in 1998 for the accelerating Universe. I explain how this remarkable discovery was the missing piece in the grand cosmological puzzle. When found, it fit perfectly. For c...

The main goal of this work is to form a large, deep and representative sample of dwarf galaxies residing in voids of the nearby Universe. The formed sample is the basement for the comprehensive mass study of the galaxy content, their evolutionary sta...
Tens of millions of years ago, the intelligent five-sided monsters in the universe built a planet in the Universe -- Cybertron. On this planet, five-sided monsters built Vector Sigma, a planetary core computer that they could easily make.And built two production lines on the plan…
The Dark Forest Theory suggests that the universe might be silent for a terrifying reason. Imagine the universe as a dark forest where every civilization is a hidden hunter. No one knows who is frien...
As the largest gravitationally bound objects in the universe, clusters of galaxies may contain a fair sample of the baryonic mass fraction of the universe. Since the gas mass fraction from the hot ICM is believed to be constant in time, the value o...
I started thinking about it, and the in-universe Wikipedia page for Walter White would be a nightmare of incomplete information. **Early life** Honestly, can we just talk about how hilariously frust...
The apparent fine-tuning of several fundamental parameters that determine the properties of our Universe and make it hospitable to life is sometimes used as an argument for God from design. I review the concept of cosmic fine-tuning and critically ex...
