Astrophysicists at the University of Chicago have developed physics-based models suggesting that dark energy could be changing over time. Dark energy, the mysterious force causing the universe to ...

New strategies may soon allow scientists to test dark energy theories within our own solar system, linking cosmic-scale physics to local observation. Science advances through a cycle of proposing ...

An artist’s concept of the dark energy-driven accelerating expansion of the universe. New results suggest dark energy’s influence on cosmic expansion has weakened over time. In 2024 a shockwave ...

In 2024 a shockwave rippled through the astronomical world, shaking it to the core. The disturbance didn’t come from some astral disaster at the solar system’s doorstep, however. Rather it arrived via ...

Dark energy—the term used to describe whatever is causing the universe to expand at an increasing rate—is one of the universe's greatest mysteries. The most widely accepted theory currently suggests ...

For a quarter century, cosmology has leaned on one framework to explain how the universe expands. Known as the ΛCDM model, it assumes about 70 percent of the cosmos is filled with an unseen force ...

An international team of researchers led by the Leibniz Institute for Astrophysics Potsdam (AIP) has shed light on a ...

Scientists recently found that dark energy, the mysterious form driving the accelerating expansion of the universe, could be weakening over time. The findings could undermine the existing standard ...

Dutch string theorist Dr. Erik Verlinde insists on saying gravity doesn't exist. The good professor clearly does not believe that if he stops holding onto his briefcase, it will do anything other than ...
