Churning nano-wormholes could explain the clash in our cosmological constants. The wormholes add magnitude to a math parameter called the Gauss-Bonnet term. Boosting one term in a complex equation ...

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 widely accepted theory at the present moment ...

The accelerated expansion of the present universe, believed to be driven by a mysterious dark energy, is one of the greatest puzzles in our understanding of the cosmos. The standard model of cosmology ...

For a quarter century, cosmology has rested on a simple but audacious idea: that a fixed “cosmological constant” drives the ...

The cosmological constant is presumably an enigmatic form of matter or energy that acts in opposition to gravity and is considered by many physicists to be equivalent to dark energy. Nobody really ...

DESI has made the largest 3D map of our universe. The Earth is at the central vertex, and every dot is a galaxy. DESI collaboration and KPNO/NOIRLab/NSF/AURA/R ...
