We found that 99.5% of them would experience a larger dark energy density than observed in our universe. In other words, it ...

But, considering a multiverse wherein each universe contains a different dark energy density—observed by one intelligent observer—the team found that 99.5 percent of these universes boasted a ...

The chances of intelligent life emerging in our universe—and in any hypothetical ones beyond it—can be estimated by a new theoretical model which has echoes of the famous Drake Equation.

Is it possible to understand the Universe without understanding the largest structures that reside in it? In principle, not ...

Clockwise from the upper-left panel: no dark energy, same dark energy density as in our universe, 30 and 10 times the dark energy density in our universe. Credit: Courtesy of Oscar Veenema, former ...

As per the model, another universe with a dark energy density enabling 27% of ordinary matter to be converted into stars would most likely allow for the emergence of alien life.. This is in ...

Parallel universes with additional dark energy could have more stars than our universe, which increases the chance of alien life developing. (This image shows a stellar nursery in the Large ...

Decades ago, astronomers estimated that “ordinary” matter (basically everything that isn’t dark matter or dark energy) makes ...

A controversial theory suggests the observable universe is the result of matter rebounding after the collapse of a black hole ...

We found that 99.5% of them would experience a larger dark energy density than observed in our universe. In other words, it looks like we inhabit a rare and unusual universe within the multiverse.
