A supervoid is unlikely to explain a ‘Cold Spot’ in the cosmic microwave background, according to the results of a new survey, leaving room for exotic explanations like a collision between universes. The cosmic microwave background (CMB), a relic of the Big Bang, covers the whole sky. At 2.73 degrees above 0K, the CMB has some anomalies, including the Cold Spot. This feature, about 0...

Discovery may impact the study of the birth of the universe. Radio waves, microwaves and even light itself are all made of electric and magnetic fields. The classical theory of electromagnetism was completed in the 1860s by James Clerk Maxwell. At the time, Maxwell’s theory was revolutionary, and provided a unified framework to understand electricity, magnetism and optics. Now, new research led by LSU Dept of Physics & Astronomy Assistant Prof. Ivan Agullo, with colleagues from Universidad de Valencia advances knowledge of this theory.
Maxwell’s theory displays a remarkable feature: it remains unaltered under the interchange of the e...
