Cosmological models are built on a simple, century-old idea -- but new observations demand a radical rethink

Our ideas about the Universe are based on a century-old simplification known as the cosmological principle. It suggests that when averaged on large scales, the Cosmos is homogeneous and matter is distributed evenly throughout.

Spectre: The deceptively simple shape that’s taken mathematics by storm

On March 20, 2023, a team of four researchers announced that they had discovered an einstein, an object that mathematicians had been searching for almost 60 years. An einstein – also known as an aperiodic monotile – is a shape that can tile a surface plane, but only in a…
