Theory Predicting an Older Universe without Dark Matter or Dark Energy Passes Key Cosmological Tests

Researchers said the model matched key observations, including light-element abundances and galaxy rotation curves, without invoking dark matter or dark energy.

Summary by Phys.org
An alternative model in which the universe is 26.7 billion years old and needs neither dark matter nor dark energy has held up against several major cosmology tests, according to a new University of Ottawa study. The research, titled "A Big Bang Nucleosynthesis Consistency Test of the CCC+TL Cosmology," is published in the journal Universe.

Is our universe older than the usual 13.8 billion years? An alternative cosmos model with an age of 26.7 billion years can, under certain assumptions, explain the light elements created by the Big Bang and several observations at galaxies. This opens up another test possibility, but is not yet a proof against dark matter and dark energy. Ottawa (Canada).
