At the recentRoyal Astronomical Society’s National Astronomy Meeting in Durham, England, groundbreaking new evidence was presented, suggesting that Earth, along with the Milky Way, may be caught in a vast cosmic void.

The "Hubble tension," one of the most frustrating and lingering problems in science, could be solved if Earth and the Milky Way sit in a low-density void.

But The Big Bang Theory obviously had a crap-ton of fans; you don’t get to 12 seasons and two spin-offs (the recently concluded Young Sheldon and Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage, which has a second season coming) without some ironclad popularity in place.

According to a provocative new study, that might just be our cosmic address. This idea is meant to solve one of the biggest puzzles in cosmology: the Hubble tension. This long-standing discrepancy concerns two different ways of measuring how fast the universe is expanding.

Baryon acoustic oscillations (BAOs) – the “sound of the Big Bang” – support the idea of a local void. Gabriela Secara, Perimeter Institute A potential solution to this inconsistency is that the Milky Way,

Earth and our entire Milky Way galaxy may sit inside a mysterious giant hole which makes the cosmos expand faster here than in neighbouring regions of the universe, astronomers say. Their theory is a potential solution to the 'Hubble tension' and could help confirm the true age of our universe,

Images of the cosmos, such as the James Webb Space Telescope’s deep space snapshot, make space look chock-full of stuff. In the grand scheme of things, it is, but all those stars, galaxies, planets, and other celestial objects may not be as uniformly distributed as photos make them look.

Battle of the Big Bang provides an entertaining update on the collective obsessions and controlled schizophrenias in cosmology, writes Will Kinney.

The Big Bang may mark an end—not the start—of a previous universe's aeon. Penrose's theory sees the universe as an eternal cycle of births and deaths. Each aeon could evolve minds—suggesting that consciousness may be cosmically inevitable.
