(PhysOrg.com) -- Over the past few decades, the idea that our universe could be one of many alternate universes within a giant multiverse has grown from a sci-fi fantasy into a legitimate theoretical possibility. Several theories of physics and astronomy have hypothesized the existence of a multiverse made of many parallel universes. One obvious question that arises, then, is exactly how many of these parallel universes might there be. http://www.physorg.com/news174921612.html Physics Fri, 16 Oct 2009 14:20:53 EST news174921612 (PhysOrg.com) -- Transaction prices of commercial property sold by major institutional investors fell by 18 percent in the second quarter of 2009, according to an index developed and published by the MIT Center for Real Estate (MIT/CRE). http://www.physorg.com/news168528849.html Other Sciences Mon, 03 Aug 2009 14:35:04 EST news168528849 What happened in the first trillionth of a trillionth of a trillionth of a second after the Big Bang? Super-sensitive microwave detectors, built at the National Institute of Standards and Technology, may soon help scientists find out. http://www.physorg.com/news160546763.html Physics Sun, 03 May 2009 05:21:46 EST news160546763 Many people view a rise in their income as a good thing, even when the increase is completely negated again by inflation. Researchers at Bonn University and the California Institute of Technology have discovered the cerebro-physiological cause underlying this so-called "money illusion." This effect is of great practical relevance in that it explains, for instance, why financial policy and inflation can have a beneficial effect on employment and economic growth. http://www.physorg.com/news157048381.html Medicine & Health Mon, 23 Mar 2009 17:33:41 EST news157048381 During the next decade, a delicate measurement of primordial light could reveal convincing evidence for the popular cosmic inflation theory, which proposes that a random, microscopic density fluctuation in the fabric of space and time gave birth to the universe in a hot big bang approximately 13.7 billion years ago. http://www.physorg.com/news154010927.html Space & Earth Mon, 16 Feb 2009 12:49:33 EST news154010927 (PhysOrg.com) -- The Big Bang is widely considered to have obliterated any trace of what came before. Now, astrophysicists at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) think that their new theoretical interpretation of an imprint from the earliest stages of the universe may also shed light on what came before. http://www.physorg.com/news148658100.html Physics Tue, 16 Dec 2008 13:55:00 EST news148658100
