A new theory claims dark matter and dark energy don’t exist — they’re just side effects of the universe’s changing forces. By ...

Astrophysicists at the University of Chicago have developed physics-based models suggesting that dark energy could be changing over time. Dark energy, the mysterious force causing the universe to ...

Cosmology is already a complicated field of study, so switching up the variables is extra rough.

Astronomers are rethinking one of cosmology’s biggest mysteries: dark energy. New findings show that evolving dark energy models, tied to ultra-light axion particles, may better fit the universe’s ...

The Universe may not have begun with a Big Bang, but instead with a Big Bounce, according to a new theory about how the ...

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 most widely accepted theory currently suggests ...
