Gravitational Waves Discovery Now Officially Dead 2015-02-02T05:00:00Z Michael Turner, a cosmologist at the University of Chicago, said he could appreciate the frustration of his colleagues, who have been wandering in the wilderness for nearly four decades looking for clues to the Beginning. A Speck of Interstellar Dust Rebuts a Big Bang Theory 2015-01-30T05:00:00Z As Michael Turner, a cosmologist at the University of Chicago wrote in an email, “We now believe this tiny difference led to us!” Val Fitch, Who Discovered Universe to Be Out of Balance, Is Dead at 91 2015-02-10T05:00:00Z In spite of the sad end to this particular tale, Max Tegmark, a cosmologist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, says he’s optimistic about the chances of spotting primordial B modes relatively soon. Curtain falls on controversial big bang result 2015-01-30T05:00:00Z “I no longer believe that BICEP2 detected the signal of’ gravitational waves,” says cosmologist Marc Kamionkowski of the Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland, who is not a member of either team. Gravitational waves discovery now officially dead 2015-01-29T05:00:00Z In a bit of physics humor, Metzgerthen asked in the post whether Brian Greene of Columbia — one of the world’s best-known cosmologists — would “step up to the task.” N.F.L. Investigator Seeks to Consult Columbia Physicist Over Patriots’ Deflated Footballs 2015-01-27T05:00:00Z But the string of disappointments means that some theorists are already beginning to back away from WIMPs and look at alternatives, says cosmologist Scott Dodelson of the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in Batavia, Illinois. Crunch time for pet theory on dark matter 2015-01-20T05:00:00Z On Saturday, the program promises, “Nobel Laureate in astrophysics Brian Schmidt and cosmologist Lawrence Krauss explore the unfathomable scale of the universe and humanity's place within it.” The Hottest Word in Davos Is Pretty Lukewarm 2015-01-20T05:00:00Z Sanchez, mature beyond his years and already married, started working in the laboratory of Max Tegmark, the famous cosmologist. 30 Under 30: Young Scientists Who Are Changing The World 2015-01-05T05:00:00Z The team attributed the pattern to gravitational waves — ripples in space-time — generated during the earliest moment of the Universe when cosmologists believe the cosmos underwent a brief but tumultuous episode of expansion known as inflation. Gravitational waves discovery now officially dead 2015-01-29T05:00:00Z The cosmologist Stephen Hawking looked into the future, and speculated that computers which could evolve faster than humans would render us obsolete. The 12 tech months of 2014 2014-12-29T05:00:00Z For cosmologist Marc Kamionkowski of Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland, the episode shows the danger of announcing major results too early. 365 days: Nature's 10 In our view, cosmologists should heed mathematician David Hilbert's warning: although infinity is needed to complete mathematics, it occurs nowhere in the physical Universe. Scientific method: Defend the integrity of physics 2014-12-15T05:00:00Z "I was hoping to find an anomaly," says Nazzareno Mandolesi, a cosmologist with Italy's National Institute for Astrophysics in Bologna who described the new results at the press conference. Study of big bang’s afterglow sheds light on evolution of universe 2014-12-01T05:00:00Z South African cosmologist Renée Hložek wrote a blog addressed to budding female scientists: "Yes, you are capable of being taken seriously," she wrote. Rosetta physicist's 'sexist' shirt 2014-11-14T05:00:00Z Their work led to the discovery, in 1998, that the expansion of the Universe was speeding up, leaving cosmologists struggling to explain the apparent ‘dark energy’ that is driving the phenomenon. Astronomers win big in science mega-awards 2014-11-09T05:00:00Z It’s a perspective that may be best summed up by the cosmologist Lawrence M Krauss, who has said: “science progresses and philosophy doesn’t”. Rebecca Newberger Goldstein: ‘Science is our best answer, but it takes a philosophical argument to prove that’ 2014-10-19T04:00:00Z Like most theoretical cosmologists, Joshua Frieman was thrilled when astronomers announced in 1998 that the expansion of the universe appeared to be speeding up, driven by an invisible agent that they called “dark energy.” Dark Energy Discernment Dithers over Quantum Jitters or an Undetected Field 2014-10-01T04:00:00Z The findings aren't all more of the same, says David Spergel, a cosmologist at Princeton University who does not work on Planck. Study of big bang’s afterglow sheds light on evolution of universe 2014-12-01T05:00:00Z But at this point it would take a brave cosmologist to bet on it. Dust to dust 2014-09-25T04:00:00Z To distinguish radiation from dust and other galactic foregrounds from the CMB, cosmologists generally take data at multiple frequencies. Evidence for cosmic inflation wanes 2014-09-23T04:00:00Z But a cosmologist from the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics in Waterloo, Ontario felt a bit vindicated. Betting Against Gravitational Waves: Q&A with Cosmologist Neil Turok 2014-09-23T04:00:00Z The disagreement over the Bicep finding will not mean the end of inflation theory; it just means it will be harder for cosmologists to find out how it worked. Study Confirms Criticism of Big Bang Finding 2014-09-22T04:00:00Z The announcement thrilled cosmologists because the waves would have constituted long-awaited proof for that the infant Universe underwent an epoch of hyper-accelerated expansion known as inflation. Full-galaxy dust map muddles search for gravitational waves 2014-09-21T04:00:00Z To their surprise, they found that climate scientists were just as interested as cosmologists were in developing a low-cost, reusable platform for their research. Airships That Carry Science Into the Stratosphere 2014-08-25T04:00:00Z Max Tegmark, a cosmologist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, is more optimistic. Evidence for cosmic inflation wanes 2014-09-23T04:00:00Z Many cosmologists believe that inflation led not only to our entire observable universe but also to an infinite “multiverse” of parallel universes. A New View of the Sky 2014-08-06T04:00:00Z We find ourselves, not surprisingly, in a universe that has the physical laws that enable the appearance of life, the evolution of complex organisms and the eventual appearance of cosmologists making PowerPoint presentations. BICEP2 experiment’s big-bang controversy highlights challenges for modern science Smiling physicists and cosmologists nearly danced with excitement in media interviews. A Bold Critic of the Big Bang’s "Smoking Gun" 2014-07-24T04:00:00Z Renowned physicist and cosmologist Stephen Hawking has nailed his colors firmly to the mast ahead of this summer’s World Cup in Brazil.

Backlash to Big Bang Discovery Gathers Steam 2014-05-21T04:00:00Z Two months ago, a team of cosmologists reported that it had spotted the first direct evidence that the newborn universe underwent a mind-boggling exponential growth spurt known as inflation. Doubts Shroud Big Bang Discovery 2014-05-19T04:00:00Z “The overarching theme here is that, out there at the frontiers of discovery, it’s very foggy,” said Michael Turner, a cosmologist at the University of Chicago. BICEP2 experiment’s big-bang controversy highlights challenges for modern science But no one has a very good model for dust polarization, says Marc Kamionkowski, a cosmologist at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland. Milky Way map skirts question of gravitational waves 2014-05-07T04:00:00Z In the beginning, it shows strands of mysterious material which cosmologists call "dark matter" sprawling across the emptiness of space like branches of a cosmic tree. Universe evolution recreated in lab 2014-05-07T17:00:50Z Indeed, most cosmologists believed that inflation, or something very much like it, must have happened. Cosmology: Polar star 2014-04-02T17:20:29.372Z Many cosmologists hailed the detection as a smoking gun for that theory. Doubts Shroud Big Bang Discovery 2014-05-19T04:00:00Z It was attractive because it let cosmologists explain, or explain away, some inconvenient facts about the universe—chiefly, how boring it is. Astrophysics: BICEP flexes its muscles 2014-03-20T16:01:13Z “The plot thickens,” says cosmologist Michael Turner of the University of Chicago.

Universe evolution recreated in lab 2014-05-07T17:00:50Z He was one of the first cosmologists to calculate what the signature of primordial gravitational waves should look like in the CMB. Telescope captures view of gravitational waves 2014-03-19T18:20:36.133Z “Inflation — the idea of a very big burst of inflation very early on — is the most important idea in cosmology since the big bang itself,” said Michael Turner, a University of Chicago cosmologist. A big-bang theory gets a big boost: Evidence that vast cosmos was created in split second 2014-03-17T22:34:00Z That shouldn’t take long, given that cosmologists at Princeton, Berkeley, the University of Minnesota, the Goddard Spaceflight Center, the University of Chicago and more were already in the hunt. Cosmic Bulletins: Two Major Discoveries Rock Science 2014-03-17T15:01:01Z Max Tegmark, a cosmologist at M.I.T., wrote in an email, “I think that if this stays true, it will go down as one of the greatest discoveries in the history of science.” Detection of Waves in Space Buttresses Landmark Theory of Big Bang 2014-03-17T14:46:02Z In the cosmologists’ models, some kinds of dark energy gradually fade in strength, but never become negative. This is the way the world ends: How the cosmos will meet its demise 2014-03-09T13:00:00Z He shines best in impromptu settings like talk shows or needling cosmologists at the annual Asimov debates at the American Museum of Natural History, about nothingness or alternate universes. Out There: A Successor to Sagan Reboots ‘Cosmos’ 2014-03-03T18:20:58Z “We’re a small, plucky band of people who are convinced this is the way forward,” said Sean Carroll, a theoretical cosmologist at the California Institute of Technology.
