A new theory challenges the standard model of cosmology, arguing that dark matter and dark energy are not the forces behind ...

Theoretical physicists James Hartle and Stephen Hawking, for example, proposed that rather than having a strict beginning as we would understand it, the universe evolved out of a "no-boundary" state ...

such as approaches found in loop quantum cosmology. More work is also needed to understand how the quantum potential quantitatively replaces the role of curvature. This includes exploring its ...
