In 2002, two astronomers analyzing data from more than 200,000 galaxies decided to answer a question nobody asked: if you could trap all the light in the universe (from the perspective of someone on ...

What we see in our universe only accounts for roughly five per cent of what’s out there. The remaining 95 per cent is invisible. But now, a researcher at the University of Tokyo says he's seen at ...
