The enigmatic idea of dark energy has consistently been referenced to explain the universe’s expansion, but new research may upend years of cosmological beliefs with a shocking claim made by ...

Our current cosmological model—known as lambda cold dark matter, or ΛCDM—relies on hypothesized dark energy to explain the accelerating expansion of the universe. However, one competing theory known ...

Dark energy does not exist, some scientists have claimed – which could help get rid of one of the universe’s biggest mysteries. For a century, scientists have thought that the universe was ...

The cosmos began expanding with the Big Bang but then around 10 billion years later it strangely began to accelerate thanks to a theoretical phenomenon termed dark energy. One of the biggest ...

or ΛCDM—relies on hypothesized dark energy to explain the accelerating expansion of the universe. However, one competing theory known as “timescape cosmology” suggests that many ...

Dark energy and dark matter refers to the unseen energy and matter components of the Universe. Dark matter is invisible, non-baryonic matter hypothesized to explain phenomena including ...

An international consortium of scientists studying dark energy said Tuesday their three-dimensional map of the universe over 11 billion years suggested the cosmos wasn't steadily expanding ...
