Universe might implode sooner than thought
The Universe is not immortal. Eventually, it will either expand to the point of heat death, or it'll collapse. Either of these will likely take a very, very, very long time to happen, but a group of scientists from the University of Southern Denmark now believe that a collapse is more likely, and that we might have to knock off one of those "very"s from how long we've got. Yes, we’re all doomed.

All the Universe Is ... Just a Hologram?
Prepare for a head trip: The universe may actually be a hologram and everything you see an illusion, according to new research that could prove gravity comes from thin, vibrating strings—holograms.

Universe May Have Been Around Since Forever, According to Rainbow Gravity Theory
When did the clock of the universe start ticking? For decades we’ve believed that 13.8 billion years ago the Big Bang set the universe’s clock in motion. While that’s still the prevailing viewpoint, researchers are now exploring a theory called “rainbow gravity” that, if correct, does away with the Big Bang. In a “rainbow” universe, the clock has been ticking forever.

A Thin Sheet of Reality: The Universe as a Hologram
What we touch. What we smell. What we feel. They’re all part of our reality. But what if life as we know it reflects only one side of the full story? Some of the world’s leading physicists think that this may be the case. They believe that our reality is a projection—sort of like a hologram—of laws and processes that exist on a thin surface surrounding us at the edge of the universe.

Big bang birthday: Six mysteries of a cosmic bombshell
In 1964, a pair of engineers at Bell Labs in New Jersey tried to build a better antenna and ended up uncovering the origins of the universe. After ruling out city noise, nuclear bombs and pigeon poop, Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson argued that a strange radio hiss in their readings was the first confirmed signal of the cosmic microwave background. This relic glow emerged as a result of the big bang and now permeates the universe.

Why Carl Sagan is Truly Irreplaceable
No one will ever match his talent as the “gatekeeper of scientific credibility”. We live in Carl Sagan’s universe–awesomely vast, deeply humbling. It’s a universe that, as Sagan reminded us again and again, isn’t about us. We’re a granular element. Our presence may even be ephemeral—a flash of luminescence in a great dark ocean.
