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 ...

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 theoretical framework underlying gravitational waves may have to be revamped to account for dark energy and the acceleration of the expansion of the universe. That’s the conclusion of researchers ...

Physicists are now celebrating the 100th anniversary of the cosmological constant. On this occasion, two papers recently published in EPJ H highlight its role in modern physics and cosmology. Although ...

The standard cosmological model known as Lambda-CDM (ΛCDM) proposes that dark energy is a constant force in the universe. However, an early “hint” in a new detailed map from the Dark Energy ...

Two theoretical physicists have developed a model that could explain why the cosmological constant takes the small, positive value that it does in today's universe. The value of the constant is ...

Scientists know very little about the mysterious force dubbed “Dark Energy” that seems to be quickening the expansion of the universe but, according to LSU Physics and Astronomy Associate Professor ...

For over a century, scientists have wondered what is counteracting the force of gravity in the universe. The universe is vast, almost beyond comprehension. It has an estimated diameter of 93 billion ...

More than 90 years ago, astronomer Edwin Hubble observed the first hint of the rate at which the universe expands, called the Hubble constant. More than 90 years ago, astronomer Edwin Hubble observed ...

Physicists are now celebrating the 100th anniversary of the cosmological constant. On this occasion, two recent articles highlight its role in modern physics and cosmology. Before becoming widely ...
