Astronomers have caught a glimpse of galaxies that existed a mere 500 million years after the Big Bang, more than 13 billion years ago. For the past few months, researchers have been poring over the new WFC3 data set - a sliver of sky about one-twelfth the diameter of the full Moon, viewed for 173,000 se...
The parallel world theory has one feature that is very disturbing - at every time event the universe can diverge into two parallel universes, with each separate universe inheriting the slight difference of the time event. However, by incorporating destructive and constructive waves that travel...
