More than 100 years ago, Albert Einstein proposed something radical in his theory of general relativity: space and time are not fixed backdrops. They bend, stretch and ripple when massive objects move ...

The standard cosmological model (present-day version of "Big Bang," called Lambda-CDM) gives an age of the universe close to 13.8 billion years and much younger when we explore the universe at ...
