Dark Matter and Dark Energy Might Not Exist After All, New Study Suggests

Dark Matter’s “Lampshade Effect” May Be Hiding Entire Stars From Our View

Shutterstock Hunting for dark matter, the invisible substance that makes up about 85 percent of all the mass in the universe, is no easy feat. It’s nearly undetectable because, if it interacts with light at all, it does so extremely weakly. Still, its presence is believed by most astronomers to be almost everywhere, shaping galaxies and stars with its gravitational force. A new study published in Physical Review Letters suggests a surprising twi…

Dark Matter and Dark Energy Might Not Exist After All, New Study Suggests

A new theory suggests dark matter and dark energy may not exist. Physicist Rajendra Gupta’s model proposes that the universe’s forces weaken over time, naturally explaining cosmic expansion and galactic motion without unseen matter or energy.

Universal expansion may be slowing down rather than speeding up

For decades, we have been taught that the universe is expanding faster and faster. That belief has influenced our view of distant galaxies, how cosmologists have built their theories, and how researchers have described a mysterious, repulsive force we reference as dark energy. This idea even won scientists the Nobel Prize in Physics. Recently, however, new evidence suggests that this narrative could be more complex and much more personal than we…

Our Universe May Be Slowing Down: New Study Challenges Dark Energy Theory

For decades, scientists have believed that the Universe is expanding at an ever-accelerating pace due to a mysterious force known as dark energy. However, a groundbreaking new study suggests that this widely accepted view may need to be revised. Published today in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, the research from Yonsei University casts doubt on the current understanding of cosmic expansion. Instead of continuing to accele…
