For a quarter century, cosmology has leaned on one framework to explain how the universe expands. Known as the ΛCDM model, it assumes about 70 percent of the cosmos is filled with an unseen force ...

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 ...

Drawing together leading experts from across the field, an international collaboration of cosmologists has created a unified approach for measuring the value of the Hubble constant. Published in ...

General Relativity continues to provide a robust framework for understanding the interplay between gravitational waves and the cosmological constant. Gravitational waves—ripples in the fabric of ...

The accelerated expansion of the present universe, believed to be driven by a mysterious dark energy, is one of the greatest puzzles in our understanding of the cosmos. The standard model of cosmology ...

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 ...

Scientists in Greece have laid out a mathematical framework to help explain a so-far-unsolved gap in our understanding of how gravity scales up to the full size of our universe. Specifically, ...
