A newly discovered cluster of objects called the “inner kernel” of the Kuiper belt could teach us about the early history of the solar system – including the movement of Neptune

Our solar system is speeding through the galaxy at more than three times the velocity scientists once believed, according to a new peer-reviewed study. The findings,released in November 2025, could upend fundamental assumptions about how the universe is structured and operates.

According to the standard model of cosmology, the universe should be the same everywhere and look the same in every direction. A little caveat on this last part is that it’s the same in every direction if the observer is not moving,

How fast and in which direction is our solar system moving through the universe? This seemingly simple question is one of the key tests of our cosmological understanding. A research team led by astrophysicist Lukas Böhme at Bielefeld University has now found new answers,

Elon Musk, recently made claims about his plans with Grokipedia, saying that he would send copies of the site into space.

"If our solar system is indeed moving this fast, we need to question fundamental assumptions about the large-scale structure of the universe."

In 1949, famed mathematician and physicist John von Neumann delivered a series of addresses at the University of Illinois, where he introduced the concept of the "universal constructor." The theory was further detailed in the 1966 book,

Study from Bielefeld finds major departure from the standard model. How fast and in what direction is our solar system moving through space? This question, though simple in appearance, plays a central role in testing modern cosmological theories.
