- Monster black hole found in the early universe. Astronomers have discovered the second-most distant quasar ever found. The light seen from Poniua'ena traveled through space for over 13 billion years since leaving the quasar just 700 million years after the Big Bang. http://www.keckobservatory.org/poniuaena 3 comments science
- Physicists have simulated in detail an intermediary phase,known as “reheating” period, that kickstarted the Big Bang in the universe’s first fractions of a second. http://news.mit.edu/2019/putting-bang-in-big-bang-1025 7 comments science
- A Second 'Big Bang' Could End Our Universe in an Instant, Thanks to The Higgs Boson. Researchers have found that destabilization of the Higgs boson could lead to an explosion of energy that would consume everything in the known universe and upend the laws of physics and chemistry. https://www.sciencealert.com/second-big-bang-could-end-the-universe-with-unstable-higgs-boson-particle 98 comments science
- For the first time, theoretical physicists have calculated the signal of specific gravitational wave sources that emerged fractions of a second after the Big Bang. The source of the signal is a long-lost cosmological phenomenon called "oscillon" https://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2017-02/uob-asf021017.php#.wj3a4qdjkhi.reddit 7 comments science
- The length of a second could be about to change as German Scientists have found a way to create world's most accurate clock. If it had started 14 billion years ago at the Big Bang it would have lost just 100 seconds. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/time-clock-atomic-length-second-minute-hour-most-accurate-a7047856.html 12 comments science
- Who Is Ben Carson's Mystery Physicist? Not just a physicist, a "well-known" physicist. And Carson says this guy was floored by his question. Apparently he had never given any thought to whether the Big Bang theory was compatible with the second law of thermodynamics. http://www.motherjones.com/kevin-drum/2015/11/who-ben-carsons-mystery-physicist 31 comments politics
- In the article linked in the summary, they talk about inflation happening a fraction of a second after the big bang. They said if the theory is correct, it would have been faster than the speed of light. How is that possible? http://news.discovery.com/space/cosmology/big-bang-scientists-to-team-up-with-planck-space-telescope-140703.htm 243 comments askscience
- Evidence spotted for universe's early growth spurt: The universe was born almost 14 billion years ago, exploding into existence in an event called the Big Bang. Now researchers say they've spotted evidence that a split-second later, the expansion of the cosmos began with a powerful jump-start http://www.modbee.com/2014/03/17/3244199/evidence-spotted-for-universes.html 8 comments science
