For a while now, there has been a problematic mystery at the heart of the standard cosmological model. Although all observations support the expanding universe model, observations of the early period ...

For decades, astronomers have believed that dark matter and dark energy make up most of the universe, however, a new study suggests they might not exist at all. Instead, what we perceive as dark ...

A recent study by Rajendra Gupta, published in "Galaxies," proposes that cosmic phenomena conventionally ascribed to dark matter and dark energy can be explained by the temporal weakening of ...

Welcome to the age of precision cosmology, a scientific era in which astronomers and physicists have measured almost everything about our universe—except for its deepest mysteries: dark matter and ...

A new theory claims dark matter and dark energy don’t exist — they’re just side effects of the universe’s changing forces. By rethinking gravity and cosmic timelines, it could rewrite our ...

As the Vera C. Rubin Observatory surveys the night sky, astrophysicists expect to unlock the secrets of dark matter, dark energy and cosmic phenomena that go “bang!” As the Vera C. Rubin Observatory ...
