Black holes may obey the laws of physics after all, new theory suggests

"The singularity is the most mysterious and problematic part of a black hole. It's where our concepts of space and time literally no longer make sense."

4 Ways the Universe Could End

If the universe as we know it started with the Big Bang, will it also have an end? And if it’s going to end someday - how? Here are four leading ideas.

Is dark energy weakening? DESI's results are ambiguous

There’s an extremely powerful idea in science that we take for granted, but apply all the time. The idea is simply this: that if we know the laws and rules governing a physical system, and we also know what the initial conditions of that system are, then we can apply the known rules to those initial conditions and evolve our system forward in time, making exquisite predictions for that system’s properties at all times. We can even do this for th…

Could dark energy cause the universe to collapse?

Data on dark energy weakening over time may signal that if the trend continues it could eventually cause the universe to collapse, according to a new study. Mustapha Ishak-Boushaki, a physics professor and Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) researcher, joins CBS News with more.

New data further question the best scientific theory about the history and structure of the universe; however, another recent result reinforces it
