When soup is heated, it starts to boil. When time and space are heated, an expanding universe can emerge, without requiring anything like a "Big Bang". This phase transition between a boring empty space and an expanding universe containing mass has now been mathematically described by a research team at the Vienna University of Technology, together with colleagues from Harvard, the MIT and Edinburgh.| AZoQuantum
Researchers from NASA and NOAA confirmed that the Sun has reached its maximum solar cycle, expected to last another year. This phase increases solar activity, affecting space weather, satellite operations, and communication systems, with the Parker Solar Probe mission providing valuable data on solar storms.| AZoQuantum
